Despite the large climatic fluctuations in the Arctic over the Holocene, the dominant mercury (Hg) sources and the potential changes in Hg sources associated with the climate remain unclear. Here, we use Hg isotopes to reconstruct changes in Hg sources and processes in two Svalbard fjord sediment cores spanning the Holocene. The Hg isotope ratios o...
Globalization requires a sustainable development strategy. The current stage of globalization is accompanied by an enormous development of the productive forces of mankind and its rapid growth. Unregulated development can cause environmental destruction and threaten life on Earth. The material and ecological resources of the planet are not unlimite...
Due to the growth of the world's population, edible insects have been considered a valuable alternative food source for humans. Japan has a long-lasting traditional culture of eating wild insects, a practice that has recently evolved towards farming and selling reared edible insects. In this study, we investigated the contamination loads, profiles,...
The Global Burden of Disease’s (GBD) comparative risk assessment analysis (CRA) is a quantitative estimation of the contribution of known risk factors to the injuries and sequelae enumerated by the study each year. The CRA was introduced in 2002 and has a complex methodology that builds on the epidemiologic concept of attributable risk, or populati...
Neuroinflammation has been put forward as a mechanism triggering axonal regrowth in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), yet little is known about the underlying cellular and molecular players connecting these two processes. In this study, we provide evidence that MMP2 is an essential factor linking inflammation to axonal regeneration by usi...

DNA methylation is one of the most important epigenetic modifications and is closely related with several biological processes such as regulation of gene transcription and the development of non-malignant diseases. The prevailing dogma states that DNA methylation in eukaryotes occurs essentially through 5-methylcytosine (5mC) but recently adenine m...
Presence of heavy metals in the soil may contaminate the surrounding environment which causes chronic diseases. The waste steel slag in Dana steel rolling mill Katsina, Nigeria is always dumped within the premises of the company. Therefore, this research examined the level of environmental pollution caused by the deposited steel slag. Minipal 4 ver...
Cette enquête nationale par questionnaire en ligne vise à comprendre les pratiques et représentations dans le monde de la recherche concernant le changement climatique.

Vitamin D synthesis by exposure of skin to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) provides the majority of this hormone that is essential for bone development and maintenance but may be important for many other health outcomes. This process, which is the only well‐established benefit of solar UVR exposure, depends on many factors including genetics, age...
