This study aimed to assess the effect of exposure to organic pollutants in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Bats are among the most diverse of all mammalian species and serve as reservoirs of zoonotic viruses responsible for several recent pandemics; new technologies are providing insights into how the unique physiology and lifestyle of bats drive tolerance to virus infection.
Because immune-related genes in humans are genetically closer to bats than mice, dissecting bat biology can catalyze the discovery and understanding of molecular players in human antiviral immunity.
A perspective article on stress-test, commonly used in the financial sector, applied to biodiversity conservation and global change.
The primary source of water utilized globally is groundwater. The task of guaranteeing the safety of drinking water is a significant worldwide issue that encompasses various environmental, social, and political aspects, including the accessibility, quantity, and quality of water. To ensure safe drinking water, real-time water quality monitoring is crucial
This study explores how teacher educators in Turkey, the United States, and Hong Kong prepare teachers to support immigrant students, using humanising pedagogy as a framework. Findings reveal the influence of personal and professional contexts, teaching practices, and the supports or barriers to implementing change. The study offers important insights for improving teacher education to better address the needs of immigrant students.
Launched in 2018, the WE Empower UN SDG Challenge is a first-of-its-kind global competition for women entrepreneurs who are advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The article explores the role of microglia and neuronal subpopulations in Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression. It reveals that the microglia subpopulation Mic_PTPRG communicates with specific excitatory (ExNeu_PRKN_VIRMA) and inhibitory (InNeu_PRKN_VIRMA) neuronal subpopulations, leading to the upregulation of VIRMA, which inhibits mitophagy and causes neuronal death.
This article provides guidelines on assessing the role of technology-, infrastructure-induced relationships between sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Seawater is an important CO2 sink and a promising avenue for removing CO2 from the environment. Here, an economically viable alternative to existing CO2 capture technologies is proposed, based on a reversible pH-shifting sweater process.
