Microplastic Pollution in Aquaculture: Challenges and Mitigation
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) have gained significant attention due to their potential environmental threat. This paper addresses MPs contamination in aquaculture, a critical concern for food safety and public health. The extensive use and disposal of plastic products in aquaculture, like netting materials, pose a significant threat to aquatic life ...

Advanced Paternal Age Impacts Common Loci in the Sperm and Placenta DNA Methylomes
ABSTRACT Background Epidemiological studies have reported an association between advanced paternal age at conception and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring, such as autism spectrum disorder. Evidence suggests that DNA methylation alterations in spermatozoa of older men may be transmitted to the feto‐placental unit and ...
