Article Synopsis
- Microplastic pollution is a growing concern in coastal regions of Vietnam, with this study focusing on its levels in bivalve species from aquaculture areas.
- All bivalve samples contained microplastics, averaging about 10.84 pieces per individual, predominantly in the gills and digestive glands, primarily composed of polypropylene and polyethylene.
- The research indicates that human health risks from microplastics could arise from consuming these bivalves, suggesting that proper preparation techniques like removing viscera can help mitigate risks.
Numerous studies have sought to identify diabetes mellitus treatment strategies with fewer side effects. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy was previously considered as a promising therapy; however, it requires the cells to be trans-differentiated into cells of the pancreatic-endocrine lineage before transplantation. Previous studies have shown that PDX-1 expression can facilitate MSC differentiation into insulin-producing cells (IPCs), but the methods employed to date use viral or DNA-based tools to express PDX-1, with the associated risks of insertional mutation and immunogenicity.
