Abandoned, lost, or otherwise discarded fishing gear is one of the most harmful types of marine litter globally, causing irreversible damage to ocean life and ecosystems. Therefore, global and regional policies are currently being designed and implemented to limit the influx of fishing gear into the marine environment, emphasizing the importance of circular end-of-life management of fishing gear. This study compares the end-of-life circularity potential of the six most used commercial fishing gears in Norway to identify how the heterogeneity of gears impacts their management alternatives.

The methodologies for protein purification are usually difficult and may not be completely successful. The objective of this work was to describe a methodology to purify allergens from their natural source, while maintaining their native form.

- Mosquito allergy manifests mainly as skin reactions during and after bites, along with other allergic responses like asthma, linked to different allergens from the mosquitoes.
- There are two primary types of mosquito allergy: cutaneous reactions triggered by salivary allergens and respiratory reactions due to somatic allergens, with cutaneous reactions being the main focus of research.
- Despite limited studies on immunotherapy for mosquito-related allergies, symptom management and preventative measures against mosquito bites remain the primary approaches in clinical practice, highlighting a need for further research in this area.
The mouse Igh locus is organized into a developmentally regulated topologically associated domain (TAD) that is divided into subTADs. Here we identify a series of distal V enhancers (Es) that collaborate to configure the locus. Es engage in a network of long-range interactions that interconnect the subTADs and the recombination center at the DJ gene cluster.

Inhalation of these allergens could trigger an allergic response.
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of sensitization to Aedes aegypti in a group of patients with allergic rhinitis.
