CrustCheck: a conceptual framework for interpreting biocrust trait–function relationships in drylands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Biocrusts are increasingly recognized for their contribution to soil stability, hydrology, nutrient cycling, and energy balance in drylands, yet practical field methods for assessing functional roles are limited. Existing approaches typically rely on cover estimates, taxonomic identification, or laboratory analyses, providing ...

Human placental exposure to pollutant nanoparticles: uptake, translocation and functional impact

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Prenatal exposure to pollutant nanoparticles has been increasingly investigated due to concerns about their potential effects on placental function and pregnancy outcomes. Maternal inhalation of pollutant nanoparticles can result in a pro‐inflammatory response; particles can also translocate across the alveolus epithelial barrier

Microplastics as Emerging Neurotoxins: Brain Accumulation, Neuroinflammation, and Neurodegeneration Risk

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, Volume 40, Issue 10, October 2026.
Microplastics and nanoplastics (MPs/NPs) are emerging environmental neurotoxicants capable of accumulating in the human brain through blood‐brain barrier transcytosis and olfactory transport pathways. Once within the central nervous system, MPs/NPs trigger interconnected mechanisms including NLRP3 inflammasome activation, oxidative stress ...

Frequency of Human Brucellosis Complications in West Asia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
In 51.66% of the included studies in West Asia, the sample size was inadequate for at least half of the complications measured. ABSTRACT Background Brucellosis is a multi‐systemic zoonotic infection. The West Asia/Middle East region is an important global hotspot for brucellosis.
