ClearHarvesting the benefits of nutritional research to address global challenges in the 21st century
Researchers reviewed progress in aquaculture nutrition over the past 20 years, highlighting improvements in feed conversion efficiency and the expanded use of diverse feed ingredients. The study identifies ongoing challenges including the need for better understanding of nutrient requirements across aquaculture species and the importance of addressing global food security through continued nutritional research.
Microplastics in human body: accumulation, natural clearance, and biomedical detoxification strategies
This review summarises how microplastics enter and accumulate in the human body through air, water, and food, and critically assesses the limited evidence on natural clearance mechanisms including excretion and immune clearance. It also evaluates emerging biomedical strategies—such as chelation-inspired and microbiome-based approaches—for enhancing microplastic removal from tissues.
Optimizing the ratio of coomassie and methylene blue dyes for a cost-effective and rapid staining of PET, PVC, PP, PS, LLDPE, LDPE, and HDPE
Researchers optimized a low-cost, fast-staining method using two common lab dyes — Coomassie brilliant blue and methylene blue — to identify seven major plastic types including PET, PP, PS, and polyethylene under a microscope. This combination outperformed the widely-used Nile red dye in staining effectiveness and is far cheaper, making it more practical for large-scale microplastic detection studies.
Plastic Marine Waste and its Potential for Indonesian Indigenous Communities
This article explores the potential for Indonesian indigenous communities to play a role in addressing marine plastic waste, combining traditional ecological knowledge with waste management strategies. It highlights cultural and governance dimensions of plastic pollution responses in coastal Indonesia.
