The evidence for the existence of genetically differentiated, metal-resistant, invertebrate populations is surveyed and some of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the adaptations are described, urging that biomarker studies should work toward assimilating and exploiting these biological realities.
'Systems toxicology' approach identifies coordinated metabolic responses to copper in a terrestrial non-model invertebrate, the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus
Multiple post-genomic techniques can be combined to provide mechanistic information about the toxic effects of chemical contaminants, even for non-model organisms with few additional mechanistic toxicological data.

Detailed characterization of mutant animals revealed that the acetyltransferase activity of the Elongator is indeed required for correct acetylation of microtubules and for neuronal development, and acetylations of α-tubulin was shown to act as a novel signal for the fine-tuning of micro Tubules dynamics by modulating α- Tubulin turnover, which in turn affected neuronal shape.

Quercetin mediated lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans is modulated by age-1, daf-2, sek-1 and unc-43

A dissection of lifespan modulation by the flavonoid quercetin was shown not to act as a simple antimicrobial agent or exclusively via radical scavenging capacities, and lifespan extension had no effect on reproduction and body length.
The metabolomic responses of Caenorhabditis elegans to cadmium are largely independent of metallothionein status, but dominated by changes in cystathionine and phytochelatins.

A primary response to low levels of cadmium is the differential regulation of the C. elegans trans-sulfuration pathway, which channels the flux from methionine through cysteine into phytochelatin synthesis, which is backed up by the finding that phytOChelatin synthase mutants (pcs-1) were at least an order of magnitude more sensitive to Cadmium than single or double metallothionein mutants.
