Application

  • Autophagy activation for cell protection: Research on rat hepatocytes demonstrated that autophagy activation could be a mechanism for cellular protection against lead-cadmium-triggered apoptosis, offering insights into the potential therapeutic strategies against heavy metal toxicity (Xue et al., 2024).
  • Soil remediation and agriculture: A study explored the divergent responses of rhizosphere soil phosphorus fractions and biological features of Salix psammophila to different fertilization strategies under cadmium contamination, highlighting the environmental and agricultural implications of cadmium in soil management (Gai et al., 2024).

General description

Cadmium (Cd) is a chemical element generally used as a precursor and catalyst in organic reactions.
