The fishing industry has historically relied on the use of expanded polystyrene (EPS) and, sometimes, on wooden boxes for fish transport. However, these materials pose significant environmental and hygienic challenges, particularly due to the persistence of polystyrene in marine ecosystems and the porosity of wood, which undermines food safety. This study investigates the adoption of polypropylene-based eco-sustainable boxes,...

Chung-Jansen syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by intellectual disability, behavioral problems, obesity and dysmorphic features. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the PHIP gene that encodes for the Pleckstrin homology domain-interacting protein, which is part of an epigenetic modifier protein complex. Therefore, we hypothesized that PHIP haploinsufficiency may impact genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm...
