Critical to the design and assessment of interventions for enteropathy its developmental consequences in children living impoverished conditions are non-invasive biomarkers that can detect intestinal damage predict effects on growth development. We therefore assessed fecal, urinary systemic predictors 375 6-26 month-old with varying degrees malnutrition (stunting or wasting) Northeast Brazil. 301 these returned followup anthropometry after 2-6m. Biomarkers correlated stunting included plasma...
Microplastics (less than 5 mm) are a recognized threat to aquatic food webs because they ingested at multiple trophic levels and may bioaccumulate. In urban coastal environments, high densities of microplastics disrupt nutritional intake. However, behavioural dynamics consequences microparticle ingestion still poorly understood. As filter or suspension feeders, benthic marine invertebrates vulnerable microplastic ingestion. We explored by the temperate coral Astrangia poculata . detected an...
LPS immune detection strategies are tailored for host-microbe interactions that possible in nature.
