Microcystin (MC), a hepatotoxin produced by cyanobacteria, was introduced into the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida, in 2005 through freshwater outflows. Since then, MC has been detected in humans, domestic animals, and wildlife in the lagoon. Potential public health effects associated with MC exposure along the IRL include an increased risk of non-alcoholic liver disease among area residents.

Roughly half of people living with HIV (PLWH) still experience neurocognitive disorders, albeit less severely than in the pre-cART era. Sex-related effects on memory/cognition remain understudied, although the percentage of PLWH that are female has increased.

Cuboidal {CoO} complexes keep attracting interest as molecular water oxidation catalysts as they combine features of both heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis with bio-inspired motifs. However, the application of many cluster-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction still requires new stabilization strategies.
