The goal of this study was to compare the bioaccumulation of the PCB mixture Aroclor 1254 in zebrafish to cardiac and neurologic outcomes. The establishment of effect concentrations (ECs) for cardiac and neurotoxic effects of PCBs in early life stage fish is challenging due to a lack of measured PCB concentrations in test media (e.g.

Article Synopsis
  • Future climate projections start by selecting emissions scenarios, which are typically narrative-based but here utilize a large probabilistic approach with radiative forcing trajectories.
  • A combined database of greenhouse gas emissions scenarios and a climate model helps estimate median emissions for 2100 at 5.1 watts per square meter, with a small chance of exceeding 8.5 watts.
  • Despite the low probability of extreme scenarios like 8.5 watts, their analysis is important for understanding potential climate impacts by the 22nd century and evaluating rare but significant climate risks.

T cells in jawed vertebrates comprise two lineages, αβ T cells and γδ T cells, defined by the antigen receptors they express-that is, αβ and γδ T cell receptors (TCRs), respectively. The two lineages have different immunological roles, requiring that γδ TCRs recognize more structurally diverse ligands. Nevertheless, the receptors use shared CD3 subunits to initiate signalling.

Unlabelled: Across the Burkholderia genus -linked protein glycosylation is highly conserved. While the inhibition of glycosylation has been shown to be detrimental for virulence in complex species, such as , little is known about how specific glycosylation sites impact protein functionality. Within this study, we sought to improve our understanding of the breadth, dynamics, and requirement for glycosylation across the glycoproteome.
