Benthic marine invertebrate herbivores diversify their algal diets in winter by R. M. Yoshioka, A. W. E. Galloway, J. B. Schram, L. E. Bell, K. J. Kroeker

“…In total, results suggest that herbivores are not simply tracking the seasonal fatty acid changes in the dominant algae as trophic resources; instead, herbivore fatty acid seasonal changes may occur largely through some other nonexclusive mechanisms, such as omnivory, reductions or shifts in dietary composition, and/or endogenous physiological responses. …”

Polystyrene nanoplastics promote colitis-associated cancer by disrupting lipid metabolism and inducing DNA damage by Shan Tian, Ruixue Li, Jiao Li, Jinhui Zou

“…A lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated cancer cell model (Caco-2) exposed to PS-NPs was used to investigate the underlying molecular mechanism. Compared to the normal control group, mice in the PS-NPs group exhibited more tumor nodes and reactive oxygen species (ROS), higher expression of pan-CK and Ki-67, and more severe DNA damage. 16S rRNA sequencing revealed that exposure to PS-NPs altered the abundance of Allobaculum and Lactobacillus, whereas metabolic analysis showed that the most significant metabolites were enriched mostly in fatty acid metabolism. …”
