Pteris vittata is known to hyperaccumulate arsenic, and a large number of studies on this fern species can be found in the literature aimed at evaluating its behavior when coexposed to other toxic elements. In the present study, P. vittata was treated with different concentrations of As and/or Cd in
Activated microglia are known to be a major source of cellular neuroinflammation which causes various neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. In our continuing efforts to search for new bioactive phytochemicals against neuroinflammatory diseases, the 80% methanolic extract of
Arsenic (As) hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata is efficient in As uptake, translocation and accumulation, but the impacts of soil As concentrations on As accumulation and distribution in P. vittata are still unclear. The impacts of soil As (7.3, 63 and 228 mg kg-1) on plant growth and As
