Article Pluripotency retention and exogenous mRNA introduction in planarian stem cells in culture

Kai Lei et al.

Summary: Planarians possess natural pluripotent adult somatic stem cells required for homeostasis and whole-body regeneration. Reliable neoblast culture methods are currently unavailable, hindering pluripotency studies and transgenic tool development. This study reports robust neoblast culture and exogenous mRNA delivery methods, enabling introduction and expression of foreign mRNA in neoblasts. These advances provide opportunities for mechanistic studies of pluripotency and the development of cell culture techniques in other research organisms.

Summary: Desalination is an expanding industry with over 15,000 facilities worldwide. The concentrated brine byproduct contains potentially harmful chemicals. Experiments showed negative impacts on ecosystems and animal lifespan, while some seawater samples near desalination plants exhibited transient and localized genotoxicity. Further evaluation is needed to assess the overall contribution of brine to marine genotoxicity.

Application of transcriptome profiling to inquire into the mechanism of nanoplastics toxicity during Ciona robusta embryogenesis

Maria Concetta Eliso et al.

Summary: The study investigates the impact of amino-modified polystyrene nanoparticles (PS-NH2 NPs) on the embryogenesis of Ciona robusta. Transcriptomic analysis and in vivo experiments were used to develop an Adverse Outcome Pathway (AOP) for PS-NH2 NPs. The results showed that PS-NH2 NPs affected genes related to glutathione metabolism, immune defense, nervous system, transport by aquaporins, and energy metabolism. The identified key events in the AOP included adhesion of PS-NH2, oxidative stress, changes in gene transcription, morphological defects, increased reactive oxygen species, and impaired swimming behavior, leading to altered larval development, reduced metamorphosis, and inhibition of hatching.

Summary: The study reveals that silver nanoparticles can impact the microbiome of freshwater planarians at a concentration of 10μg/ml. However, the effect of AgNP exposure on the microbiome of regenerating worms is less pronounced, possibly due to developmental changes masking the AgNP-induced effect.
