Global food loss and waste continues to increase despite efforts to reduce it. Food waste causes a disproportionally large carbon footprint and resource burdens, which require urgent action to transition away from a disposal-dominated linear system to a circular bioeconomy of recovery and reuse of valuable resources. Here, using data from field-based studies conducted under diverse conditions worldwide, we found collective evidence that composting, anaerobic digestion and repurposing food waste to animal feed (re-feed) result in emission reductions of about 1 tCOe t food waste recycled compared with landfill disposal.

Background: Parturition is similar to an inflammatory response in which resident and infiltrating immune cells release cytokines and chemokines into the maternal-fetal interface, promoting expulsion of the fetus from the mother. The untimely activation of these inflammatory pathways can result in preterm labor. The maternal-fetal interface is composed mainly of decidual tissue and placental villous space.

Thyroid hormone and its receptors (TRs) are crucial for late-stage cochlear development and the maintenance of endocochlear potential (EP), yet the mechanisms underlying EP reduction in their absence remain unclear. Cochlear outer sulcus root cells undergo significant morphological changes during late-stage development and are thought to play a role in maintaining endolymph homeostasis and EP. Nevertheless, it remains unknown whether thyroid hormone and TRs are essential for root cell differentiation and function.
