Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a promising complement to tissue repair and regenerative medicine approaches. CAP has therapeutic potential in infected cutaneous wounds by mechanisms which remain enigmatic. Here, CAP is shown to activate phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex NOX2.

- The offshore Multi-use Setting (MUS) aims to combine marine industrial activities like wind farms and aquaculture to optimize space and resources while addressing global policy priorities.
- A study using expert predictions assessed the potential social and environmental impacts of co-locating seaweed aquaculture with a wind farm, revealing both risks, such as species mortality and stakeholder conflict, and benefits, like improved habitat functionality.
- The findings highlight the complexity and uncertainty in managing MUS, suggesting the need for further integrated assessments and alternative strategies to minimize trade-offs and risks in such ventures.
Marine aquaculture has the potential to increase its contribution to the global food system and provide valuable ecosystem services, but appropriate planning, licensing and regulation systems must be in place to enable sustainable development. At present, approaches vary considerably throughout the world, and several national and regional investigations have highlighted the need for reforms if marine aquaculture is to fulfil its potential. This article aims to map and evaluate the challenges of planning and licensing for growth of sustainable marine aquaculture.

The thioredoxin (Trx) system, which is a ubiquitous system for thiol and protein repair, is composed of a thioredoxin (TrxA) and a thioredoxin reductase (TrxB). TrxAs reduce disulfide bonds of oxidized proteins and are then usually recycled by a single pleiotropic NAD(P)H-dependent TrxB (NTR).

It results from an extremely severe impairment of propulsive motility. The intestinal endocrine system (IES) jointly with the enteric nervous system (ENS) regulates secreto-motor functions via different hormones and bioactive messengers/neurotransmitters.
