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.

In Table 2, the data for columns 3–5 were erroneously interchanged when copying and pasting. The corrected table is given below (changes are shown in bold). Data were presented as median (P25–P75) for all variables. Abbreviations: TSH, thyroid stimulating hormone; FT3, free triiodothyronine; FT4, free thyroxine; CCL27, CC chemokine ligand 27; CXCL1, CXC chemokine ligand 1; IL-16, interleukin-16; CCL2

As Correspondence to the work of Michanowicz et al., (1) we discuss herein a conservative indoor air modeling analysis that we conducted to further understand the potential exposure and health risk implications of benzene concentrations reported by these investigators for 234 end-use natural gas samples collected from residential locations in the greater Boston (Massachusetts) metropolitan area. The
