Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.

Complex evolutionary patterns within the tubulin gene family of ciliates, unicellular eukaryotes with diverse microtubular structures

BMC Biology
Background Tubulins are major components of the eukaryotic cytoskeletons that are crucial in many cellular processes. Ciliated protists comprise one of the oldest eukaryotic lineages possessing cilia over their cell surface and assembling many diverse ...

From Ecological States to Trajectories: Revealing Ecological Dynamics Through Environmental Nucleic Acids

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Environmental nucleic acids (eNA) observations integrate temporal and ecological information across multiple dimensions of an ecological state. Repeated and complementary observations extend biomonitoring from state assessment toward reconstruction of ecological trajectories, including their direction, rate, pathways, progression, recovery, and ...

Phylogeography and demographic history of the cyprinid fish Barbodes semifasciolatus: implications for the history of landform changes in south mainland China, Hainan and Taiwan

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Hainan Island and Taiwan Island are adjacent to the southern margin of mainland China and Vietnam. During glacial periods, global sea levels dropped, allowing that the land bridges connected the continental island and mainland, connecting rivers and ...

Biomonitoring in the Era of the Exposome [PDF]

Environmental Health Perspectives, 2016
Abstract Background: The term “exposome” was coined in 2005 to underscore the importance of the environment to human health and to bring research efforts in line with those on the human genome. The ability to characterize environmental exposures through biomonitoring is key to exposome research

The European Human Biomonitoring Initiative (HBM4EU): Human biomonitoring guidance values for selected phthalates and a substitute plasticizer

, 2021
International audienceUbiquitous use of plasticizers has led to a widespread internal exposure of the European population. Until today, metabolites are detected in almost every urine sample analysed.

2026 Consensus for the Use of Alcohol Markers in Hair for Supporting the Assessment of Abstinence and Chronic Alcohol Consumption

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
The 2026 Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) Consensus recommends ethyl glucuronide (EtG) as the primary hair marker for supporting the assessment of alcohol abstinence and chronic excessive alcohol consumption. In proximal scalp hair, EtG ≤ 5 pg/mg does not contradict self‐reported abstinence, whereas EtG ≥ 30 pg/mg strongly suggests chronic excessive ...
