Strengthening Trust by Design: A QCA Study of Design Choices in Regulatory Regimes

open access: yesRegulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT How can the design of regulatory regimes foster trust in those regimes? In food safety, finance, and data protection regulation, regulatory frameworks have been reformed to restore trust after regulatory failures. Using fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis, this paper seeks to identify how key design choices—centralization of ...

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

The Vernix Caseosa is the Main Site of Dioxin Excretion in the Human Foetus

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Dioxins are highly toxic to foetuses and prenatal exposure leads to adverse health effects; however, the metabolic pathways involved in dioxin excretion are poorly understood. We determined the dynamics of maternal-to-foetal dioxin transfer during normal

Seafood Abundance Correlates With Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratio in Japanese Diet

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 13, 15 July 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) of whole diet have rarely been measured to date though the isotope ratios in human sample have been extensively used for diet and nutritional researches. In order to fully validate the isotope dietary analysis, association between quantitative information on diet composition ...

Plasma Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Agonist Activity Is Associated With Inflammation and Metabolic Dysregulation in Obesity: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesDiabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews, Volume 42, Issue 5, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is linked to inflammation, but its plasma agonist activity and association with metabolic and inflammatory markers in obesity remain unclear. This cross‐sectional study aimed to determine the level of plasma AhR agonistic activity and its association with systemic inflammation and metabolic ...

MXene–MOF Hybrid Nanocomposites: Emerging Platforms for Sustainable Wastewater Treatment

open access: yesEcoMat, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review presents MXene–MOF hybrid materials for advanced water purification. By integrating the high conductivity and hydrophilicity of MXenes with the tunable porosity of MOFs, these hybrids demonstrate superior performance in adsorption, photocatalysis, and electrochemical degradation.
