Microplastics as particles are still an open topic, but the risks associated with their additives are known, says environmental toxicologist Ondřej Adamovský
But how do microplastics actually interact with the human body? What impact do they have on our environment and our health? Is it true that they penetrate places like the brain or placenta?
Insight into the nucleosome recognition mechanisms
Scientists from IOCB Prague, Charles University, CEITEC, the Institute of Microbiology, and the University of Cologne studied the chromatin reader LEDGF and its association with methylated histone H3K36.
