Purpose Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) play a promising role in the development of new advanced materials. The growing demand of CNC-containing products in the food industry will lead to an increased human exposure through oral uptake. To date, there is a dearth of studies reporting on the risks which CNC pose to human health following ingestion. In vitro models, which lack physiological accuracy, are often used to justify anima...

Changes in climate, in combination with intensive exploitation of marine resources, have caused large‐scale reorganizations in many of the world's marine ecosystems during the past decades. The B altic S ea in N orthern E urope is one of the systems most affected. In addition to being exposed to persistent eutrophication, intensive fishing, and one of the world's fastest rates of warming in the last two decades of the 20th cen...
