As main meal for sperm whales: Plastics debris [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2013 Marine debris has been found in marine animals since the early 20th century, but little is known about the impacts of the ingestion of debris in large marine mammals. In this study we describe a case of mortality of a sperm whale related to the ingestion of large amounts of marine debris in the Mediterranean Sea (4th published case worldwide to our ...

A high-resolution technique for non-target analysis of chemical substances in marine plastic debris
, 2022 Large amounts of plastics produced worldwide accumulate in the ocean as marine litter every year. Plastics can absorb chemicals from its surrounding environment due to their hydrophobic properties.

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

The Ecotoxicology of Plastic Marine Debris
, 2011 The accumulation of plastic in the oceans is an ever-growing environmental concern. Plastic debris is a choking and entanglement hazard for wildlife; plastics also leach toxic compounds into organisms and ecosystems.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Analysis of plastic debris on Malaysia beaches / Liyana 'Izzati Aris [PDF]
, 2012 Plastic debris is the main cluster of solid waste component present in the marine environment. Anthropogenic activities namely recreational and fishing activities are believed to contribute to the abundance of plastic debris (1 – 30 mm in size ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.LUNAR is a liver‐specific long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) that is highly expressed in normal liver but becomes epigenetically silenced in hepatocellular carcinoma through promoter hypermethylation. Loss of LUNAR is associated with NOTCH activation, epithelial–mesenchymal transition, and metastasis, whereas restoring LUNAR restrains metastatic progression ...
