It was with great interest that I read the article ‘Endocytosis-Mediated Transport of Pb in Rat Blood Cells’ by Guo et al. (1) The authors aimed to look for molecular targets for lead transport by exploring lead-binding proteins in rat blood, and they hoped that this can provide a possible strategy for reducing blood-lead levels in normal human beings. I comment on the studies of blood cells, as knowledge

We appreciate that Bergdahl (1) provides insightful comments on our recent article. Pb is a long-established issue, with noteworthy effects on the environment and public health. (2) In fact, approximately one-third of children worldwide still have blood lead levels above the safe thresholds recommended by the World Health Organization (50 ng/L). (3) It should be noted Bergdahl’s comments rely heavily

The equation located at lines 203–204 in the Supporting Information has a typo. The correct equation is This article has not yet been cited by other publications.

Chromium (Cr) is a heavy metal with a high toxicity and pathogenicity. Microbial reduction is an effective strategy to remove Cr(VI) at contaminated sites but suffers from the low populations and activities of Cr-reducing microorganisms in soils. This study proposed an in situ sonoporation-mediated gene transfer approach, which improved soil Cr(VI) reduction performance by delivering exogenous Cr-transporter

In the abstract, fish should have been correctly characterized as being ectothermic. This article has not yet been cited by other publications.
