## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** To elucidate the process and mechanism of Cu(II) biosorption onto aerobic granules, the influence of pH and ionic strength (IS) on the Cu(II) biosorption capacity and biosorption mechanism was studied. **RESULTS:** The biosorption of Cu(II) onto aerobic granules under d
Heavy metal ions can be released by corroding metallic implants into the surrounding tissue. When they enter blood vessels some of them are carried by proteins like albumin and can be taken up by endothelial cells lining the vessels. To study their involvement in the inflammatory response we investi
