Aortic Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and DNA Damage Following Pulmonary Exposure to Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles in a Rat Model of Vascular Injury

Pulmonary exposure to cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeO2 NPs) can occur either at the workplace, or due to their release in the environment.Inhaled CeO2 NPs are known to cross the alveolar−capillary barrier and reach various parts of the body, including the vasculature.The anticancer drug cisplatin (CP) causes vascular damage.However, the effec

Genome-wide analysis of the Dof transcription factor gene family reveals soybean-specific duplicable and functional characteristics.

The Dof domain protein family is a classic plant-specific zinc-finger transcription factor family involved in holder a variety of biological processes.There is great diversity in the number of Dof genes in different plants.However, there are only very limited reports on the characterization of Dof transcription factors in soybean (Glycine max).In t
