Newborn babies and patients with Alzheimer's disease share an unexpected biological trait: elevated levels of a well-known biomarker for Alzheimer's. Paracetamol production could be revolutionized by the discovery that a common bacterium can turn everyday plastic waste into the painkiller, a study reveals. New research shows that the normal and intended use of food packaging and other food contact articles can contaminate foodstuffs with micro- and nanoplastics. Researchers implicated problems with cholesterol metabolism in this type of vision loss, perhaps helping to explain the links between macular degeneration and cardiovascular disease, which both worsen with age. The test works by looking at changes to the order, structure and number of copies of DNA within the cancer—known as chromosomal instability (CIN) signatures. Years after wildfires burn forests and watersheds, the contaminants left behind continue to poison rivers and streams across the Western U.S. — much longer than scientists estimated. A group of researchers in Italy say they have isolated about 20 species of bacteria from PFAS-contaminated soil that can degrade the chemicals by using them as a source of energy. |
