Nanoplastics (NPs) as emerging marine pollutants can be taken up by seafood organisms. It is crucial to quantitatively assess NP's distribution behavior in organisms to elucidate concentration dependent biological effects. Such a knowledge gap has remained due to the lack of reliable NP models and analytical methods. Herein, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-labeled NP models were developed and their bioavailability, distribution and accumulation in , a typical marine bivalve, were quantitatively studied. Taking advantage of the sensitive and characteristic SERS signals of the NP models, distribution could be quickly and accurately obtained by the Raman imaging technique. Moreover, quantitative analysis of NPs could be performed by the detection of gold element contents inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) detection. ICP-MS results revealed that after 3 days exposure of monodispersed NPs (100 nm, 0.2 mg L), the digestive gland accumulated 86.7% of whole-body NPs followed by gill (5.2%), mantle (5.1%), foot (1.3%), exhalant siphon (1.1%), and adductor (0.6%). Upon 11 days depuration, 98.7% of NPs in the digestive gland were excreted, whereas the clearance ratios in other organs were much lower. NP aggregates (around 1.5 μm) demonstrated similar distribution and clearance trends to the monodispersed ones. However, the accumulation amount in each organ was 15.2% to 77.6% lower. Surface adherence and passive ingestion routes resulted in NP accumulation, which contributed to the comparable NP abundance in these organs. Additionally, boiling treatment (mimicking a cooking process) did not decrease the NP amount in these organs. This work provided a dual-mode and quantitative analysis protocol for NPs for the first time, and suggested the risk of NP uptake by humans bivalve seafood diets.

R-spondins are critical regulators of gastric epithelial cells, with Lgr5 receptor historically considered as their main signaling transducer. Recent work by Wizenty et al (2022) now revealed distinct roles for Lgr4 and Lgr5 in directing gland reconstitution following H. pylori infection, shedding new light on the complexities of Rspo signaling during gastric regeneration and raising questions about antral stem cell hierarchy.

The origin of lactation and the composition, structures and functions of milk's biopolymers highlight the Darwinian pressure on lactation as a complete, nourishing and protective diet. Lactation, under the driving pressure to be a sustainable bioreactor, was under selection pressure of its biopolymers with diverse functions acting from the mammary gland through the digestive system of the infant. For example, milk is extensively glycosylated and the glycan structures and their functions are now emerging. Read More

The assessment of contaminants of emerging concern, alone and in mixtures, and their effects on marine biota requires attention. 5-Fluorouracil is a cytostatic category 3 anti-cancer medication (IARC) that is used to treat a variety of cancers, including colon, pancreatic, and breast cancer. In the presence of other pollutants, this pharmaceutical can interact and form mixtures of contaminants, such as adhering to plastics and interaction with metal nanoparticles. Read More

Background: Esophageal cancer (EC), a common malignant tumor of digestive tract, is also one of the most deadly cancers. Accumulating studies have shown that the initiating and progressing multiple human diseases were closely related to the expression of MAIP. However, the specific roles and mechanisms of MAIP1 in EC remain incompletely defined. Read More
