Feb 21 2024 University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center A flurry of recent studies has found that microplastics are present in virtually everything we consume , from bottled water to meat and plant-based food. Now, University of New Mexico Health Sciences researchers have used a new analytical tool to measure the microplastics present in human placentas In a study published February 17 in the journal Toxicological Sciences, a team led by Matthew Campen, PhD, Regents' Professor in the UNM Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, reported finding microplastics in all 62 of the placenta samples tested, with concentrations ranging from 6.5 to 790 micrograms per gram of tissue. Although those numbers may seem small (a microgram is a millionth of a gram), Campen is worried about the health effects of a steadily rising volume of microplastics in the environment. For toxicologists, "dose makes the poison," he said. "If the dose keeps going up, we start to worry...

How long humans can live, and what determines a long and healthy life, have been of interest for as long as we know. Plato and Aristotle discussed and wrote about the ageing process over 2,300 years ago. The pursuit of understanding the secrets behind exceptional longevity isn't easy, however. It involves unravelling the complex interplay of genetic predisposition and lifestyle factors and how they interact throughout a person's life. Now our recent study, published in GeroScience , has unveiled some common biomarkers, including levels of cholesterol and glucose, in people who live past 90. Read More Brought to you by

The proteins needed to create limb progenitor cells are marked with different colors under a microscope. Credit: Yuji Atsuta/Tabin lab How do organisms form limbs in the womb? Scientists have been striving to answer this question not only to deepen our understanding of evolution and embryonic development, but also to help make the dream of regenerating partial or entire limbs a reality. A team led by Harvard Medical School geneticists just took a step forward on that long road. As described in their article  published  Feb. 5 in  Developmental Cell , the researchers identified the special ingredients needed to kick off limb creation in mice and chicks. "People in the field have known a lot of the proteins critical for limb formation, but we found that there are proteins we missed," said study co-first author ChangHee Lee, research fellow in genetics in the lab of Cliff Tabin at HMS. The team found that a combination of just three proteins—Prdm16, Zbtb16, and Lin28a—is nec...
