Adsorption of Organic Pollutants onto Microplastics
<p>Microplastics (MPs) are small plastic pieces with sizes ranging from 1 mm to 5 mm in diameter. Polyethylene (PE) is a common polymer used in plastic material and eventually breaks down to MP size overtime in the environment through a process called weathering. Weathering of MPs alters their …

Neuropathologic characterization of a canine model of mucopolysaccharidosis IIIB and additional studies in anti-inflammatory therapy and neuroinflammatory kinetics
<p>The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a heterogenous group of lysosomal storage diseases that are designated MPS I through MPS IX (excluding MPS V and MPS VIII) that result in deficiencies in specific lysosomal enzymes that are responsible for the stepwise degradation of glycosaminoglycans …

Surface modifications of iron oxide nanoparticles for biological applications
Iron oxides magnetic nanoparticles (MPs) of high crystallinity, high magnetization, and size-monodispersity were synthesized with oleic acid as their native ligands. These hydrophobic and non-functionalized MPs have magnetic properties that are suitable for various biological applications. Surface …

Microplastics in Urban Environments: Distribution, Fate, and Transport
Microplastics (MPs) have become a growing environmental concern, particularly in urban areas where anthropogenic activities intensify their presence in ecosystems. This research investigates MPs’ distribution, fate, and transport in urban environments, focusing on stormwater retention (SWR) ponds, …

Alpha-L-iduronidase transduced mesenchymal stem cells as a therapy for the treatment of CNS degeneration in mucopolysaccharidosis type I mice
Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I) is an autosomal recessive disorder that is characterised by a deficiency in the α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) enzyme, resulting in the accumulation of undegraded heparan sulphate and dermatan sulphate glycosaminoglycans (gags) within the lysosome of nearly every cell. …

Microplastics as Contaminant Vectors: Influencing the Bioaccessibility of Naphthalene from Freshwater
Microplastics (MPs) are found throughout the environment and pose risks to human health as particulate pollutants. In addition, they have the potential to transfer environmental contaminants to humans and other sensitive receptors. However, there is a paucity of information on the vector effects of …
