IDENTIFICATION OF SPECIFIC METABOLIC PATHWAYS AS DRUGGABLE TARGETS REGULATING THE SENSITIVITY TO CYANIDE POISONING.

Identification of specific metabolic pathways as druggable targets regulating the sensitivity to cyanide poisoning.

Cyanide is a potent toxic agent, and the few available antidotes are not amenable to rapid deployment in mass exposures.As a result, there are ongoing efforts to exploit different animal models to identify novel countermeasures.We have created a pipeline that combines high-throughput screening in zebrafish with subsequent validation in two mammalia

New name for the soft coral Alcyonium rubrum Stokvis & van Ofwegen, 2006 (Alcyonacea, Alcyoniidae): Alcyonium burmedju nom. n.

Alcyonium rubrum Stokvis & van Ofwegen, 2006, an encrusting soft coral (Figure 1), was described from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean based on specimens collected during the Dutch CANCAP VII Expedition to the Cape Verde Archipelago (Stokvis & van Ofwegen 2006).This species was later reported from the Azores (Braga-Henriques et al.2013)
