Structure, transduction pathway, behavior and toxicity of fish olfactory in aquatic environments.

The olfactory system in teleost fish plays a vital role as chemosensory organ that directly interacts with the aquatic environment, exhibiting high sensitivity to chemical alteration in aquatic environments. However, despite its importance, there has been a lack of systematic reviews in the past decade on fish olfactory structure, transduction mechanisms, and the impact of environmental pollutants on olfactory toxicity. This study analyzed 272 relevant studies, focusing on the role of the olfactory system and the disruption of olfactory function by contaminants.

Integrated bioinformatics analysis of As, Au, Cd, Pb and Cu heavy metal responsive marker genes through GEO datasets.

Background: Current environmental pollution factors, particularly the distribution and diffusion of heavy metals in soil and water, are a high risk to local environments and humans. Despite striking advances in methods to detect contaminants by a variety of chemical and physical solutions, these methods have inherent limitations such as small dimensions and very low coverage. Therefore, identifying novel contaminant biomarkers are urgently needed.
