A portable toilet manufacturer in northwest Indiana (USA) released polyethylene microplastic (MP) pollution into a protected wetland for at least three years. To assess the loads, movement, and fate of the MPs in the wetland from this point source, water and sediment samples were collected in the fall and spring of 2021-2023. Additional samples, including sediment cores and atmospheric particulates, were collected during the summer of 2023 from select areas of the wetland.

However, molecular mechanisms underlying the condensin-mediated chromosomal organization remain largely unclear. Here, we investigate the role of newly identified interaction between the Cnd1 condensin and Pmc4 mediator subunits in fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

- Many people worldwide want to find ways to stop future pandemics from happening.
- While there has been a lot of focus on preparing for and responding to pandemics, preventing diseases from spreading from animals to humans isn't talked about much.
- The text suggests we should pay more attention to how environmental changes can cause these spills and offers ideas on how to make policies that help prevent them.
A recent case report described an individual who was a homozygous carrier of the APOE3 Christchurch (APOE3ch) mutation and resistant to autosomal dominant Alzheimer's Disease (AD) caused by a PSEN1-E280A mutation. Whether APOE3ch contributed to the protective effect remains unclear. We generated a humanized APOE3ch knock-in mouse and crossed it to an amyloid-β (Aβ) plaque-depositing model.
