Molecular regulation of retinal regeneration is context specific.

Unlabelled: Many genes are known to regulate retinal regeneration following widespread tissue damage. Conversely, genes controlling regeneration following limited retinal cell loss, akin to disease conditions, are undefined. Combining a novel retinal ganglion cell (RGC) ablation-based glaucoma model, single cell omics, and rapid CRISPR/Cas9-based knockout methods to screen 100 genes, we identified 18 effectors of RGC regeneration kinetics.

Metagenomics shows that low-energy anaerobic-aerobic treatment reactors reduce antibiotic resistance gene levels from domestic wastewater.

Effective domestic wastewater treatment is among our primary defenses against the dissemination of infectious waterborne disease. However, reducing the amount of energy used in treatment processes has become essential for the future. One low-energy treatment option is anaerobic-aerobic sequence (AAS) bioreactors, which use an anaerobic pretreatment step (e.
