EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAn Immunological Argument for One HealthMark Brown et al.Human exposure to heavy metals is associated with higher rates of immunological deficiencies, autoimmunity, and cancer. Chronic exposure to lead contributes to abnormalities in immunomodulation while cadmium is linked to breast, prostate, and lung cancers. Prenatal exposure to these metals impacts both the development and function of immune cells. The concept of one health underscores the importance of the interface … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 3 Feb 2023 · 9,822 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Loss Using GIS and RUSLE Model in Bakiya River Basin (BRB), Central NepalSujan Bista, Naresh Kazi Tamrakar, Kishor Rimal, Arju BhattaraiSoil erosion is the major geological hazard in the fragile landscape of Sub-Himalaya. This study examines the susceptibility of the Bakiya River Basin (BRB) in Central Nepal to soil erosion because of its steep topography, fragile geology, the impact of intense monsoon rainfall, and the lack of a direct monitoring mechanism available for rainfall-runoff. This study examines the spatial variations … …Current Research in Geoscience, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2025 · 3,384 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUnraveling the Mechanisms of Plant Structural Defenses against Insect PestsAroni Preya Biswas, Roksana Al Nafiu Insha, Md. Khairul Mazed et al.Plants employ a variety of physical, chemical, and genetic strategies to defend against herbivore attacks. These biochemical defense mechanisms are complex and dynamic, encompassing both direct and indirect responses. Defense-related chemicals, whether constitutive or induced by herbivore damage, significantly influence herbivore feeding behavior, growth, and survival. Plant defense systems impact herbivore nutrition, development, and survival, highlighting the importance of chemical … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 7 Jan 2025 · 5,793 accessesView PDFCite
