Atmospheric microplastics (MPs) have been consistently detected within indoor and outdoor air samples. Locations with high human activity are reported to have high MP levels. The aim was to quantify and characterise the MPs present within the surgica... Read More about Microplastics in the surgical environment.

Two closely related ureotelic fish species of the genus Alcolapia express different levels of ammonium transporters in gills (2022)
Journal Article
White, L. J., Rose, M., Lawson, M., Joyce, D., Smith, A. M., Thomas, G. H., …Pownall, M. E. (2022). Two closely related ureotelic fish species of the genus Alcolapia express different levels of ammonium transporters in gills. Biology Open, 11(11), Article bio059575. https://doi.org/10.1242/bio.059575

Most fish excrete their nitrogenous waste across the gills as ammonia through the activity of the Rhesus glycoprotein ammonium transporters. In contrast, fish of the subgenus Alcolapia (Oreochromis) are the only vertebrates that survive the extreme c...
