Summary: The human microbiome is closely linked to multiple aspects of human physiology. Accurate control of the microbiome holds great promise for understanding disease causes and developing new treatments and diagnostic methods. Although microbiome research is still at an early stage, engineering efforts are emerging to support new studies and quickly translate findings into microbiome-based interventions.

Summary: A novel carotenoid with a unique 2,6-cyclo-psi-end group, named roretziaxanthin (1), was isolated from the sea squirt Halocynthia roretzi as a minor carotenoid. Its structure was determined using UV-VIS, MS, and NMR spectral data, and the formation mechanism in the sea squirt was discussed.

Summary: Adult sea urchins, their embryos, and small colonial tunicates can be used to investigate the medium- and long-term effects of various toxic agents and provide quick responses for managing contaminants in coastal waters. The functional responses of these model invertebrates to chronic and acute exposures to organic and inorganic toxic agents can help assess toxicity at different concentrations and physiological levels in marine ecosystems.

Summary: The study presents a qPCR assay for detecting the invasive tunicate D. vexillum with high sensitivity, utilizing eDNA in water samples. Water sample analyses showed variation in detection consistency within infected sites, with sites of lower consistency typically having low D. vexillum density or undergoing management efforts.

Summary: The 5th edition of the WHO Blue Book provides a comprehensive update on testicular tumours, while retaining the structure and nomenclature of the previous edition. The classification paradigm remains rooted in morphology, but important changes have been made in terms of terminology and the inclusion of new entities. The update highlights the importance of both molecular understanding and morphology in the study of testicular cancer.
