Toxicity Evaluation of Microplastics Exposure in Water Contaminated with Pyrene and Methyl Chlorpyrifos Using Daphnia magna

Abstract In freshwater environments, microplastics (MPs) have emerged as important organic contaminants vectors. This study investigates the individual and combined toxicity of microparticles of polystyrene (PS) and polylactic acid (PLA) with two contaminants of major concern in...

Five-country analysis of geographic and dietary drivers of gut microbiome composition and genomic variation

Abstract Human diet and lifestyle vary widely across cultures, shaping global diversity in gut microbiome composition and function. However, comparable cross-population studies have been limited by methodological heterogeneity. The Human Diets and Microbiome Initiative (THDMI) in...

Real-time volatilomics reveals microbiota and pathogen fingerprints in the honey bee

ABSTRACT Understanding the complex relationship between gut microbiota and their hosts often relies on invasive sampling techniques. Honey bees provide a tractable model for host-microbe studies. Here we establish single-bee volatilomics using secondary electrospray ionization (S...

Protocol for a scoping review Artificial intelligence applied to bacterial biofilms: a scoping review of the evidence base and barriers to transfer to food processing environments

Registered protocol for a scoping review on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applied to bacterial biofilms. The protocol specifies eligibility criteria, search strings for PubMed and Web of Science, a dual-reviewer screening procedure, and an extraction data...

Integrated multiomics analysis reveals metabolic and microbiome alterations in Wilson disease

Wilson disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in ATP7B , which encodes a copper transporter. Abnormal ATP7B function leads to copper deposition, mainly in the liver and brain, resulting in hepatic, neurological, and psychiatric impairments. Metabo...

Characterization of porcine heart for the development of taste-rich and bioactive hydrolyzates using sequential hydrolysis

Abstract The increasing production in global meat industry requires strategies to minimize the economic and environmental impact of slaughterhouse by-products. The main objective of this research was to characterize porcine heart as a raw material for developing functional and ta...
