pH-Dependent Degradation of Macrobial Environmental DNA in Water. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis has increasingly been used for aquatic biomonitoring, although interpretation of results needs to consider how environmental factors influence the degradation process of eDNA. This review focuses on pH, which has long been considered a key factor in eDNA degradation although its apparent effect on eDNA ...

From the Gut to the Brain: Microplastic‐Associated Neurovascular Dysfunction and Implications for Stroke Risk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chronic oral exposure to microplastics may disrupt gut microbiota homeostasis and intestinal barrier integrity, potentially engaging the gut–brain axis and systemic inflammatory responses. These alterations may be associated with impaired blood–brain barrier function, cerebral microvascular dysfunction, and enhanced endothelial inflammation, pro ...

Temporal factors and habitats drive the variation of microbial distributions and co-occurrence patterns in the Pearl River Estuary

BMC Microbiology
Background Estuaries are dynamic and complicated aquatic ecosystems, where both abiotic and biotic factors heavily vary across seasons and among habitats. However, the distributions and co-occurrence patterns of microorganisms in estuarine ecosystems are
