Bivalves serve as an ideal ecological indicator; hence, their use by the NOAA Mussel Watch Program to monitor environmental health. This study aimed to expand the baseline knowledge of using metabolic end points in environmental monitoring by investigating the dreissenid mussel metabolome in the ...

In premature infants, successful ex utero maturation depends on endogenous and exogenous stimuli. Chemical insults during this period may impact long-term development. Given immature hepatic biotransformation, parenteral xenobiotic exposure may be of particular toxicological relevance. We conduct...

Gut environments harbour dense microbial ecosystems in which plasmids are widely distributed. Plasmids facilitate the exchange of genetic material among microorganisms while enabling the transfer of a diverse array of accessory functions. However, their precise impact on microbial community compo...
