Article Abstract

To investigate the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident's radiological effect on marine ecosystem, ash samples of squids from the western Pacific Ocean were collected in May 2014 and measured using an underground gamma-ray spectrometer in the underground laboratory JinPing. Low levels of Ag, Ag, Cs and Cs were detected, which indicates that the influence of the FDNPP accident on marine ecosystem is lasting but decreasing.

Integrative approaches that investigate trophic ecology drivers provide knowledge to explore and predict changes in food-web dynamics under contrasting scenarios of global change. However, there are few studies that analyse the relationship between environmental factors and trophic interactions and that additionally consider other human stressors such as fisheries. Here, we use Bayesian Stable isotope mixing models to study the trophic ecology of a widespread pelagic predatory fish, the swordfish (Xiphias gladius), in the western Mediterranean Sea and the adjacent Atlantic waters.

In recent years, combination therapy has gained attention for improving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. However, the anticancer potential of marine-derived proteins combined with sorafenib remains largely unexplored. This study investigates, for the first time, the anticancer effects and mechanisms of Symplectoteuthis oualaniensis protamine (SOP), its PEG-modified form (SOP-PEG), and sorafenib in Hepa1-6 cells.

Understanding the age and development of a species provides knowledge about its longevity and growth, which are crucial in assessing its life history to maintain the sustainability of its fisheries. Over 3000 samples of were collected from trawl catches off Concepcion, Iloilo, Western Visayas, Philippines, from April 2018 to September 2019. Daily rings in the statoliths were used to determine their age.

Surgical excision remains the principal treatment for melanoma, while tumor recurrence and delayed wound healing often occur due to the residual tumor cells and hypoxic microenvironment in the postoperative skin wounds. Herein, we present a living photosynthetic microneedle (MN) patch (namely MA/CM@MN) loaded with microalgae (MA) and cuttlefish melanin (CM) for postsurgical melanoma therapy and skin wound healing. Benefiting from the oxygenic photosynthesis of the alive MA in the MN base, the MA/CM@MN can generate oxygen under light exposure, thus facilitating skin cell proliferation and protecting cells against hypoxia-induced cell death.
