The challenges of agriculture to meet the growing population demand observed in recent decades have incorporated a number of new elements into agricultural practice. In this sense, we highlight the intensification of pesticide use as a way to provide a better yield of agronomic productivity. However, extensive use of pesticides can have, in addition to harmful effects on human health, a m…
In recent years, the marine environment has received an enormous amount of different pollutants in unprecedented quantities in the history of mankind. Among these, nanoparticles (NPs) are a source of emerging, diffuse and difficult to remediation environmental pollution, becoming a large and growing environmental problem. Between the different types of NPs, titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) is…
Nowadays, water pollution is one of the most serious ecological problems, and domestic, industrial and agricultural wastes are the main sources of pollution in general and for metals. This study is being performed in order to assess the possible influence of the trophic state index and physicochemical variables in the fractionation of copper (Cu) as a determinant of the ecotoxicity of thi…
The evaluation of innate immune response of sea urchins exposed to thermal stress is of great importance once literature demonstrates that the rise of sea temperature, as consequence of global warming, contributes to a larger susceptibility of marine organisms to diseases. In the initial steps of this project, we observed that increase of temperature modulated the innate immune response o…

The nanoparticles (NPs) constitute a source of diffuse environmental pollution and difficult remediation, becoming a large and growing environmental problem. Among the different types of NPs, titanium dioxide (nano-TiO2) are present in countless human consumption products. As a consequence of this extensive use, nano-TiO2 can be easily inserted in a passive way in marine ecosystems. Sea u…
Echinocrome is a naftochinonic pigment found in interior granules of red sphere cells, a coelomocyte type of sea urchins Lytechinus variegatus. This cell have been considered as a biomarker due to its increase number in different conditions of stress, such as domestic residues contamination or the temperature increase and this was also observed by other researcher groups. Due to its red p…
The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common types of skin cancer non-melanoma in both animals and humans, it is caused mainly by ultraviolet radiation. The photodynamic therapy (PDT) is used clinically to treat a range of malignancies. This therapy uses photosensitizing molecules (PS) in the target tissue followed by irradiation with light, mainly in the red spectrum of vi…
