Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, that accounts for 50-75% of all dementia cases. Evidence demonstrates the link between particulate matter (PM) exposure and AD. However, there are still considerable research gaps.

Research on epigenetic‒environmental interactions in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has accelerated rapidly in recent decades. Numerous studies have demonstrated the contribution of ambient particulate matter (PM) to the onset of AD. Emerging evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including long non-coding RNAs, circular RNAs, and microRNAs, play a role in the pathophysiology of AD.

Article Synopsis
  • F-53B is a chemical that can harm the liver and intestines, and it's being studied to understand how it does this.
  • In an experiment, mice were exposed to different amounts of F-53B for 28 days, and researchers found it built up in the liver and intestines.
  • The study showed that F-53B caused damage to the gut and liver, changed the bacteria in the gut, and linked these changes to inflammation and fat processing in the body.

Studies have investigated associations between maternal exposure to PFAS and preterm birth, but the impact of paternal and overall family exposure to PFAS mixtures on preterm birth remains unknown. To address this knowledge gap, a total of 355 preterm births and 481 controls were selected for a family-based birth cohort study in a coastal area of China, between 2016 and 2018. Seven PFAS, including perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA), were quantified in maternal, paternal and neonatal sera.

SnS has been widely studied as an anode material for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) based on the high theoretical capacity and layered structure. Unfortunately, rapid capacity decay associated with volume variation during cycling limits practical application. Herein, SnS /Co S hollow nanocubes anchored on S-doped graphene are synthesized for the first time via coprecipitation and hydrothermal methods.
