Prisoners' Perceptions and Their Agency on Sustainability Transformation in Finland

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability transformation is essential for our time, requiring the involvement of all citizens. Several prisons worldwide have developed various sustainable development (SD) programs for prisoners. However, it remains unclear how prisoners perceive SD, which can be a significant obstacle to their agency. This study explores the perceptions

Nanoplastics Impair GnRH Neuron Migration and Neuroendocrine Function: Emerging Players in the Pathogenesis of Reproductive Disorders

Small, EarlyView.
Little is known about the effects of polystyrene nanoplastics (PS‐NPs) on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, which control puberty onset and fertility. By applying tailored in vitro GnRH neuron models, this article shows how PS‐NPs are internalized and impact hormone secretion and cell migration, through gene expression changes. Ultimately,
