Ecosystems globally have reached critical tipping points because of climate change, urbanization, unsustainable resource consumption, and pollution. In response, international agreements have set targets for conserving 30% of global ecosystems and restoring 30% of degraded lands and waters by 2030 (30×30). In 2021, the United States set a target to jointly conserve and restore 30% of US lands and waters by 2030, with a specific goal to restore coastal ecosystems, namely wetlands, seagrasses, coral and oyster reefs, and mangrove and kelp forests, to increase resilience to climate change.

IL1-β plays a central role in inflammation but its biological action needs to be tightly controlled. Such negative regulation can be exerted by the decoy receptor IL1R2. However, IL1R2 biology in immune cells remains poorly characterized, in particular in monocytes.

Coral reefs are among the most sensitive ecosystems affected by ocean warming and acidification, and are predicted to collapse over the next few decades. Reefs are predicted to shift from net accreting calcifier-dominated systems with exceptionally high biodiversity to net eroding algal-dominated systems with dramatically reduced biodiversity. Here, we present a two-year experimental study examining the responses of entire mesocosm coral reef communities to warming (+2 °C), acidification (-0.

Vaccine prevention strategies play a crucial role in the management of people living with HIV (PLWH). The aim of this study was to assess vaccination coverage and identify barriers to vaccine uptake in PLWH in the Paris region. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in PLWH in 16 hospitals in the Paris region.

Article Synopsis
  • Allergic diseases are a significant global health issue, and this study examines the impact of exposure to artificial light at night (ALAN) on such conditions, with a focus on asthma, allergic rhinitis, and skin allergies.
  • The research included a thorough review of 12 studies, revealing that higher exposure to light at night correlates with increased risks for allergic diseases, particularly asthma and allergic rhinitis, with notable effects seen in younger individuals.
  • The findings suggest that evening chronotype and night shift work also contribute to these risks, indicating that light exposure at night can significantly affect allergic health outcomes.
