Article Synopsis
- To tackle the complex issues of marine pollution, it's essential to provide accurate and timely scientific information to those making decisions about coastal and ocean management.
- The United Nations GESAMP is a specialized advisory group that delivers valuable scientific insights on marine environmental protection and addresses various emerging issues.
- As concerns about ocean health rise, greater awareness and use of GESAMP's research can enhance the effectiveness of ocean policy and decision-making in the context of climate change.
Objectives: In order to provide a better insight into the functional capacity of the human gut microbiome, we isolated a novel bacterium, "Candidatus Intestinicoccus colisanans" gen. nov. sp.

Here we report the rationale for their development, the methods used to create them, and a brief summary of how MNX mice have been used to understand the contributions of mitochondrial DNA in multiple diseases, focusing on cancer metastasis. Polymorphisms in mtDNA which distinguish mouse strains exert intrinsic and extrinsic effects on metastasis efficiency by altering epigenetic marks in the nuclear genome, changing production of reactive oxygen species, altering the microbiota, and influencing immune responses to cancer cells.

- Ocean manipulation techniques, which aim to reduce the impacts of climate change, could disrupt and damage delicate deep-sea ecosystems.
- These ecosystems are vital for biodiversity and play a key role in global carbon cycling, making their protection crucial.
- The potential unintended consequences of such manipulation highlight the need for careful consideration and comprehensive research before implementation.
Ocean Alkalinity Enhancement (OAE) is a proposed Negative Emissions Technology (NET) to remove atmospheric CO through the dispersion of alkaline materials (e.g.: calcium hydroxide, slaked lime, SL) into seawater, simultaneously counteracting ocean acidification.
