Abnormal cleavage patterns in equine in vitro‐produced embryos lead to higher early pregnancy loss

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Background Despite significant advances, in vitro production (IVP) of equine embryos continues to lack standardised embryo classification criteria and is associated with increased rates of early pregnancy loss compared with in vivo‐derived blastocysts.

Shedding light on the parasite communities and diet of the deep‐sea shark Deania profundorum (Smith & Radcliffe, 1912) (Squaliform: Centrophoridae) from the Avilés Canyon (southern Bay of Biscay)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Exploring the phthalates-induced neurotoxicity mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases via network toxicology, single-cell transcriptomics and molecular dynamic simulation

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Phthalates are considered to be a neurotoxicant, widely used in construction materials, packaging, and various medical products. Few studies have focused on the association between exposure to phthalates and risks on neurodegenerative diseases and thus ...

Impact of Environmental Exposure on Infant Sleep : The Exposome Approach

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
This review explores how exposure to environmental pollutants during the first 1000 days of life may affect infant sleep. Evidence suggests potential links between chemical exposures and sleep disturbances, underscoring the need for more research on early‐life vulnerability and the impact of pollutants in air, diet, and breast milk.

Fast Phthalate Detection in Textile Samples: A LC-MS/MS Screening Method Using Precursor Ion Scans

Chemistry Proceedings
Phthalate esters (PAEs), commonly known as phthalates, are widely used as plasticizers in the textile industry to improve the flexibility, transparency, and durability of various materials.

Potential of VIS‐IR imaging spectroscopy and SEM‐EDS and EMPA to map the mineralogical composition of NWA 7317 (CR6)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.
