Promoting children’s wellbeing in an educational context by Linda Grīga

“…Children’s wellbeing, therefore, and health and safety are more than just physical wellbeing; it should be seen holistically, as a whole welfare, and it depends not only on the environment where the child is raised, but also involves emotional support from all the people who are connected with this little human being. Thus, the first years for children at school and also for teachers (especially young teachers who have just begun their career) are a special time in their life because during this period the experience of what the child and the teacher is, and how strong and essential their connection will be, is formed. …”

Identification of mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 as an important therapeutic target of castration-resistant prostate cancer by Yankui Liu, Anjie Chen, Yufan Wu, Jiang Ni, Rong Wang, Yong Mao, Ning Sun, Yuanyuan Mi

“…MTCH2 is also upregulated in locally treated CRPC tissue and various primary human CRPC cells. Using genetic silencing via shRNA and knockout (KO) through the CRISPR-sgRNA approach, we showed that the depletion of MTCH2 impaired mitochondrial function, resulting in a reduced oxygen consumption rate, diminished complex I activity, and decreased ATP levels, mitochondrial depolarization, and increased reactive oxygen species production in primary CRPC cells. …”

The negative impacts of bisphenols on thyroid function in adults with bisphenol A exposure level exceeding the tolerable daily intake by Ziwei Pei, Lei Zhang, Yan Bao, Jingguang Li, Qin Zhuo

“…In 2023, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) published a re-evaluation of the safety of bisphenol A (BPA), establishing the new tolerable daily intake (TDI) as 0.2 ng/kg·bw/day with a 20,000-fold reduction compared to 2015, which regained public concern about the impact of bisphenols (BPs) on human health. In order to explore the health risk to thyroid function of BPs, in this study, we assessed the internal exposure levels of BPs and the relationships between urinary BPs and thyroid function in general adults. …”
