Article Synopsis
- Studies link living near major roads to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the exact mechanisms are unclear.
- Exposure to diesel emissions (DE) was analyzed in olfactory mucosa cells from both healthy individuals and AD patients, revealing that AD cells showed nearly four times greater sensitivity to DE.
- DNA methylation patterns changed in response to DE exposure, identifying potential biomarkers and pathways involved, particularly highlighting the role of NRF2 signaling in cellular responses to air pollution.

The effects of nanoparticles (NPs) on the human gut microbiota are of high interest due to the link between the gut homeostasis and overall human health. The human intake of metal oxide NPs has increased due to its use in the food industry as food additives. Specifically, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) have been described as antimicrobial and antibiofilm.

Article Synopsis
- Graphene oxide (GO), a type of graphene-based nanomaterial, has unique properties but poses environmental risks when released into aquatic ecosystems, necessitating ecotoxicological evaluations.
- The study examines the effects of GO exposure on X. laevis tadpoles, finding that it leads to growth inhibition, genotoxicity, and significant changes in gut microbiota composition.
- Specifically, GO exposure alters the balance of bacterial communities in the gut, which may contribute to the observed physiological impairments, highlighting the importance of gut microbiota in understanding the effects of nanomaterials on amphibians.
Development of an Integrated Platform to Assess the Physicochemical and Toxicological Properties of Wood Combustion Particulate Matter.

Wood burning contributes to indoor and ambient particulate matter (PM) pollution and has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Here, we present an integrated methodology that allows to generate, sample, and characterize wood smoke derived from different moisture contents and representative combustion conditions using pine wood as a model. Flaming, smoldering, and incomplete combustion were assessed for low-moisture pine, whereas both low-moisture pine and high-moisture pine were investigated under flaming conditions.
