Purpose of Review Louisiana has one of the largest concentrations of petrochemical industry in the USA. Many studies have assessed patterns of industrial pollution and health in Louisiana; we aim to systematically review this evidence. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, APA PsycInfo, and GreenFILE for peer-reviewed papers published 1999–2024 that reported geographical variation in health or industrial p...

Background and aims European wheat production faces the challenge of maintaining yields while reducing environmental impacts from agrochemicals. Organic farming is often considered a sustainable alternative to promote soil health and reduce chemical inputs. This study assessed nutrient status in wheat soils across nine European pedoclimatic zones, comparing conventional and organic systems and evaluating management practices s...

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by significant clinical and genetic heterogeneity, with approximately 40% of cases linked to hereditary genetic mutations, including MAPT , GRN , and C9ORF72 . Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key regulators of cellular processes related to neurodegeneration and as potential biomarkers for FTD. However, their relevance in presymptomatic stag...

The broad metabolic capacity of Shewanella species allows them to colonise a wide range of aquatic niches. Their ability to convert sulphur compounds, including tetrathionate, has been reported. This may seem surprising, as this ability has long been considered restricted to human gut pathogens such as Enterobacteria and tetrathionate is considered unstable in the external environment. The molecular basis of Shewanella growth...

Tissues across the body may age at different rates, which creates within‐body mosaic ageing. Life history strategies shape ageing patterns at the inter‐ and intra‐specific level, but the impact of life history strategies on mosaic‐ageing patterns within individuals remains unknown. Reproductive tissues in individuals selected to prioritise reproduction may age faster than somatic tissues because of increased ‘wear and tear’. A...
