In managing the urban subsurface environment contaminated by chlorinated solvents, various criteria, including environmental quality standards and human health risks, should be considered as the basis for decision‐making. Vapor intrusion, particularly in urban environments, can serve as a major pathway for human exposure to soil or groundwater ...

Single domain antibody: Development and application in biotechnology and biopharma
Summary Heavy‐chain antibodies (HCAbs) are a unique type of antibodies devoid of light chains, and comprised of two heavy chains‐only that recognize their cognate antigen by virtue of a single variable domain also referred to as VHH, single domain antibody (sdAb), or nanobody (Nb).

A new, global optical sediment trap calibration
Abstract Autonomous sensors for gravitational carbon flux in the ocean are critically needed, because of uncertainties in the projected response of the biological carbon pump (BCP) to climate change, and the proposed, engineered acceleration of the BCP to sequester carbon dioxide in the ocean.

Meat processing and colon carcinogenesis: Cooked, nitrite-treated and oxidized high-heme cured meat promotes mucin depleted foci in rats [PDF]
Processed meat intake is associated with colorectal cancer risk, but no experimental study supports the epidemiologic evidence. To study the effect of meat processing on carcinogenesis promotion, we first did a 14-day study with 16 models of cured meat ...

Faecal water genotoxicity, determined using HT-29 cells and the alkaline comet assay, is not associated with changes in meat associated endogenous N-nitroso compound levels in human faeces [PDF]
Increased haem intake through red meat consumption causes a significant increase in faecal N-nitroso compounds (NOC), measured as apparent total N-nitroso compound levels (ATNC)1. Many NOC are known to be carcinogens.

Red Meat Enhances the Colonic Formation of the DNA Adduct O6-Carboxymethyl Guanine: Implications for Colorectal Cancer Risk [PDF]
Red meat is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer and increases the endogenous formation of N-nitrosocompounds (NOC). To investigate the genotoxic effects of NOC arising from red meat consumption, human volunteers were fed high (420 g) red ...
