Article Synopsis
  • Phosphorus is a vital nutrient in fertilizers but is a nonrenewable resource, leading to concerns about depletion and environmental impact from agricultural runoff causing eutrophication.
  • Research has focused on methods for recovering phosphates from wastewaters, particularly through adsorption and chemical precipitation techniques.
  • The review highlights key experimental factors like temperature, pH, and the presence of other ions that affect the efficiency of phosphate recovery and provides insights into the characteristics of selected materials used in these processes.

Purpose Of The Study: Multiligament injuries (MLKI) of the knee mainly result from high-velocity impacts. This study was done to analyse multilgament knee reconstructions done in a single setting at a minimum 12 month follow-up with objective gait, squat, stability and fluoroscopic examination along with PROMs and compare the individual KD categories. Also, the study analyses the difference between < 30- and > 30-year-olds as well as those who had sporting injuries versus RTAs.

Cytosine base editing is a powerful tool for making precise single nucleotide changes in cells and model organisms like zebrafish, which are valuable for studying human diseases. However, current base editors struggle to edit cytosines in certain DNA contexts, particularly those with GC and CC pairs, limiting their use in modelling disease-related mutations. Here we show the development of zevoCDA1, an optimized cytosine base editor for zebrafish that improves editing efficiency across various DNA contexts and reduces restrictions imposed by the protospacer adjacent motif.

Article Synopsis
  • - WDR83OS encodes a protein called Asterix, which works with another protein, CCDC47, to help fold large proteins correctly, specifically those with transmembrane domains.
  • - Recent findings linked mutations in CCDC47 and WDR83OS to trichohepatoneurodevelopmental syndrome, showing consistent symptoms like neurodevelopmental disorders, facial dysmorphism, and liver dysfunction across multiple families.
  • - A zebrafish model lacking Wdr83os function demonstrated its crucial role in the nervous system and lipid absorption, further establishing a connection between WDR83OS mutations and neurological diseases characterized by elevated bile acids.

Purpose: Vital dyes allow the visualization of cells in vivo without causing tissue damage, making them a useful tool for studying lateral line and inner ear hair cells in living zebrafish and other vertebrates. FM1-43, YO-PRO-1, and DASPEI are three vital dyes commonly used for hair cell visualization. While it has been established that FM1-43 enters hair cells of zebrafish and other organisms through the mechanoelectrical transduction (MET) channel, the mechanism of entry into hair cells for YO-PRO-1 and DASPEI has not been established despite widespread use.
