Exposure of Juvenile Roach (Rutilus rutilus) to treated sewage effluent induces dose-dependent and persistent disruption in gonadal duct development

Article Abstract:

This study undertakes to prove the hypothesis that effluents containing estrogenic chemicals are feminizing wild male fish by measuring alkylphenolic chemicals and steroid estrogens in the effluent. The study was conducted by the Fish Physiology Research Group, Department of Biological Sciences, Brunel University, CEFAS Fisheries Laboratory, the National Centre for Ecotoxicology and Hazardous Substances, U.K. Environment Agency and the Environmental and Molecular Fish Biology Research Group, The Hatherly Laboratories, School of Biological Sciences, Exeter University.

Assessment of the molecular basis of the proallergenic effects of cigarette smoke

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Germany and the United Kingdom studied the links associated between smoking and the increased risk of asthma and allergies. Smoking can stimulate hypersensitivity responses and synthesis of cytokines, including interleukins, and tumor necrosis factor in the human body.

Investigating the effect of carbon shape on virus adsorption

Article Abstract:

Researchers from the University of Kentucky investigated the effectivity of carbon to absorb viruses using the MS2 bacteriophage. Results reveal that its effectivity depends on the carbon's shape and structure.
