Summary: This study investigated the influence of microplastics and nanoplastics with different sizes and concentrations on the accumulation of organic pollutants in earthworms. The results showed that microplastics facilitated the accumulation of pollutants by damaging the integrity of earthworm intestine, while nanoplastics inhibited the bacteria responsible for pollutant degradation in earthworms.

Summary: The study found microplastics and other anthropogenic microparticles in bivalves from San Francisco Bay, with significant variations in abundance between different sites, and no correlation between the number of microparticles and PAH concentrations. Bivalves may be suitable as bioindicators for microplastic levels in sediment, but not in surface water.

Summary: Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue globally, with current research mainly focusing on microplastics/nanoplastics in individual environments, neglecting the interconnected nature of the natural environment. The transport of microplastics/nanoplastics among different environments and their impact on organisms are crucial research areas that require urgent attention.

Summary: Microplastics and nanoplastics contamination is a growing environmental and public health concern, and they have been found in both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Recent studies have increased our understanding of the harmful effects of microplastics pollution on humans, animals, insects, and plants. This perspective explores the adverse effects of microplastic particles on pollinator and plant health, discusses the mechanisms by which they disrupt pollination, and integrates transcriptome studies to investigate their negative effects on the molecular biology of pollination, which can lead to delays or inhibition of pollination services. The harmful effects of microplastics pollution on plant-pollinator health disrupt the communication necessary for successful pollination.

Summary: Nanoplastics have unique characteristics compared to microplastics and engineered nanomaterials, including transportation properties, interactions with natural colloids and light, high proportion of particle molecules on the surface, bioavailability, and diffusion times for plastic additives release. Nanoscale plastics must be considered distinct from both microplastics and engineered nanomaterials.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis of 101 recent publications to summarize the influence of type, size, and concentration of microplastics and nanoplastics on various plant species. The findings indicate that the effects vary depending on the specific plant species and polymer type, with microplastics exhibiting stronger inhibition on plant indicators compared to nanoplastics.

Summary: Plastic pollution poses a threat to the marine environment, particularly microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPs), which can interact with various organisms. This study critically reviewed the ecotoxicological studies on plastic particles and brine shrimp, identifying methodological issues and effects caused by MNPs. The review highlights the importance and limitations of the research, and suggests future directions. Analysis of various parameters revealed gaps in standardization of physicochemical parameters, biology of the animals, and culture conditions. Results indicate that MNPs can harm microcrustaceans through particle ingestion and accumulation, leading to reduced survival/mobility of brine shrimp. The review suggests brine shrimp as suitable organisms for investigating the risks of MNP exposure, but emphasizes the need for protocol standardization.

Summary: This study examines small microplastics (SMPs) in the Gulf of Cadiz and reveals higher densities compared to other regions worldwide. The density of SMPs decreases from the coastline to the outer stations, indicating a coastal gradient influenced by estuarine outflows. The predominant SMPs range in size from 45 to 193 μm and are composed mostly of polyethylene and polypropylene. The associated metals include Na, K, Fe, Ca, Cr, Zr, and Hf, with a particularly high proportion of Zr compared to Fe.

Summary: We conducted RNA-Seq analysis to investigate the response of turbot to infection by Aeromonas salmonicida. We found that infection led to the modulation of immune-related and metabolism-related genes, with one of the most upregulated genes being the hormone leptin. Leptin altered the immune and metabolic response to the bacteria, resulting in increased survival rate without affecting bacterial load. This highlights the complex interplay between bacterial activity and food intake, metabolism, and inflammation.

Summary: In this study, the immune mechanisms involved in the resistance of Gilthead sea bream to RGNNV infection were elucidated through RNA-Seq analysis. The results showed that sea bream displayed a strong immune response characterized by the high expression of type I interferon-related genes, immune receptors, and antigen presentation-related genes in both brain and head kidney tissues. Additionally, complement-, coagulation-, and angiogenesis-related genes were highly enriched in the head kidney at the earlier sampling point. Interestingly, a neuroprotective scenario with restrained inflammation was observed in the brain of sea bream, unlike the activation of the stress axis and immunosuppression found in sea bass.

The results showed significant differences in microbiomes among different sample types, with exclusive OTUs found in mussels, post-treatment discharge water, and raw wastewater. Seasonal variations were also observed in wastewater, potentially influenced by abiotic factors. The presence of potential pathogens in raw wastewater highlighted the importance of wastewater treatment, which was confirmed to effectively remove pathogens.

Summary: In this study, the effects of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) and clarithromycin (CLA) on the transcriptome and metatranscriptome profiles of zebrafish were analyzed. The results showed that zebrafish exposed to antibiotics for two weeks had a higher bacterial load in the intestine and kidney, with significant differences in the relative abundance of certain bacterial classes observed only in the intestine. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that the complement/coagulation system was the most altered immune mechanism in the intestine, while the impact on the immune system in the kidney was not significant. Additionally, zebrafish treated with antibiotics showed a lower number of macrophages and neutrophils after 7 days of exposure.

Summary: In this study, mussels were challenged with viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus (VHSV), and the viral load was eliminated after 24 hours. Mussels showed antiviral activity towards VHSV, indicating that the virus was recognized and eliminated by the mussel immune system, confirming that mussels are not VHSV vectors in the marine environment. The study also revealed the involvement of cytoplasmic viral sensors, JAK-STAT pathway activation, and various downstream antiviral effectors in the mussel immune response.

Summary: The objective of this study is to incorporate soil hydraulic properties into the erodibility factor (K) of USLE-type models. By modifying and improving the existing equations for soil texture and permeability, the study successfully included information on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) into the calculation of K factor. Using the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, two independent K factor maps with different spatial resolutions were generated. The results show that the decrease in K factor values has a positive impact on the modeling of soil erosion rates.

Summary: Atmospheric PM2.5, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), is associated with cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. The study found that both the mass concentration of PM2.5 and the DTT activity were higher during the heating season than during the nonheating season. Combustion sources were the primary contributors to DTT activity during the heating season, while secondary formation dominated during the nonheating season. The study also revealed that biomass burning had the highest inherent oxidation potential among all sources investigated.

Aluminum was found in tumor areas of 24% of patients and was associated with epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell death. Additional analyses revealed higher tumor mutational burden and mutations in genes related to EMT and apoptosis in aluminum-positive colon cancers. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aluminum toxicity may improve strategies for the management of colon cancer patients.
