Evolved pollution tolerance in Gulf killifish (Fundulus grandis) from the Corpus Christi Inner Harbor, Texas, USANARA Subscribed
The Corpus Christi Inner Harbor in Texas is a major center of industrial activity and contains high levels of persistent pollutants, including dioxins, furans, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). The Gulf killifish, Fundulus grandis , is an estuarine species inhabiting the Gulf of Mexico. F. grandis populations from the Houston Ship Channel (Galveston Bay, Texas) have been previously...
The interrelationship of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), NMDA receptor and neuronal survival during early cerebral ischemia–reperfusion is not certain. We investigated this relationship by using MK-801, a non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist and by determining infarct size and blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption under the condition of markedly reduced mTORC1 activity. Rats...
Ensuring reproducibility in scientific research is crucial for validating findings, advancing knowledge, and fostering trust within the scientific community. Containerization of code is a widespread practice to help ensure reproducibility in neuroimaging research. However, there exists no universal method of sharing containers, nor is it feasible to broadly enforce rules due to the diversity of research practices. We posit tha...
Protected areas (PAs) are crucial for biodiversity conservation, yet aquatic ecosystems often receive less attention. Meiofauna plays a key role in aquatic ecology, and changes in its community structure are valuable indicators of environmental quality, highlighting its growing relevance for conservation. This review aimed to: (1) analyze trends in meiofaunal community structure within marine and freshwater protected ecosystem...
Green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles from Pistia stratiotes for triclosan degradation in greywaterNARA Subscribed
Triclosan is a widely used antimicrobial compound commonly incorporated into personal care products, raising significant environmental concerns because of its persistence and toxicity in greywater systems. This research examined the photocatalytic degradation of triclosan in artificial bathroom greywater using zinc oxide nanoparticles that were synthesized using a green method with Pistia stratiotes extract. The nanoparticles...
mRNA delivered by microneedle patch (MNP) can enable painless delivery, reduced need for healthcare expertise, and improved thermostability. In this study, we investigated formulation and manufacturing approaches for developing MNPs that deliver mRNA-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) encoding luciferase as a reporter protein during MNP fabrication and storage, including mRNA-LNP concentration, formulation, pH, excipients, and...
