In this special edition of the Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility, we recall the lives and scientific contributions of Michael and Kate Bárány, who died in 2011. Michael and Kate were Holocaust survivors who went on to become leading researchers in muscle contraction. Their research topics included myosin isoforms, phosphorylation as a regulator of muscle contraction and the application of NMR to study muscle metabolism. They were deeply committed to science and to fostering the careers of young investigators.

Introducing the OECD guidance document on occupational biomonitoring: A harmonized methodology for deriving occupational biomonitoring levels (OBL).
Toxicol Lett
January 2025
State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), Section Chemicals and Occupational Health, Holzikofenweg 36, Bern 3003, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Derivation of occupational biomonitoring levels (OBLs) is needed to effectively utilize biomonitoring for assessing exposures to chemical substances, and consequently, implement risk reduction measures to reduce health risks among workers. OBLs are the appropriate option for chemical substances that can be absorbed through the skin. This methodology for derivation of OBLs has been developed in collaboration with scientific and regulatory experts from more than 40 institutes in 15 countries within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) framework.

Article Synopsis
- Social prescribing is gaining worldwide attention, highlighting its importance in improving community health and well-being.
- A recent study involved 48 experts from 26 countries to create a unified definition of social prescribing.
- The reflection on this study emphasizes its practical applications and discusses future directions for social prescribing initiatives.
Effects of long-term fluoxetine exposure on morphology, but not behaviour or metabolic rate, in male guppies (Poecilia reticulata).

School of Biological Sciences, Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- * A study examined the long-term effects of fluoxetine exposure on male guppies, focusing on their boldness, metabolic rate, and morphology over an 8-month period.
- * While fluoxetine exposure did not significantly affect boldness or metabolic rate, it did change body condition, indicating the need for further research on how prolonged exposure influences wildlife fitness traits.
A harmonized occupational biomonitoring approach.
Environ Int
September 2024
State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), Section Chemicals and Occupational Health, Holzikofenweg 36, 3003 Bern, Switzerland. Electronic address:
Biomonitoring has been widely used in assessing exposures in both occupational and public health complementing chemical risk assessments because it measures the concentrations of chemical substances in human body fluids (e.g., urine and blood).

Examination of imported commodities by trained inspectors searching for pest organisms is a common practice that phytosanitary regulatory agencies use to mitigate biosecurity risks along trade pathways. To investigate the effects of target size and color on the efficacy of these visual assessments, we affixed square decals to polystyrene models of mandarins. Sample units of 100 model fruit containing up to 10 marked models were examined by inspectors.
