Human Intestinal Microbiota Composition Shapes Model Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Biotransformation
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.Differences in the human gut microbiome impact the rate and pathway of biotransformation for 6:2 polyfluoroalkyl phosphate diester (diPAP), a model polyfluoroalkyl substance. Metabolic analysis is coupled to 16S RNA analysis to identify correlations between microbial taxa abundance and PAP transformation products not previously established from ...

Bottled Water and the Social Sciences: A Review and Agenda for Future Research
Sociology Compass, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Social sciences approach the steady rise of bottled water consumption at the beginning of the 21st century from four analytical vantage points: political economy, semiotics and lifestyle, political ecology, and materiality‐centered. Each analytic has crucial methodological and conceptual contributions to make, as well as zones of potential ...
