Maternal exposure to polystyrene microplastics alters placental metabolism in mice
ConclusionMaternal exposure to microplastics resulted in significant alterations in placental metabolism. This study highlights the potential impact of microplastic exposure on pregnancy outcomes and that efforts should be made to minimize exposure to plastics, particularly during pregnancy.

Providing metabolomics education and training: pedagogy and considerations
AbstractBackgroundMetabolomics is a highly multidisciplinary and non-standardised research field. Metabolomics researchers must possess and apply extensive cross-disciplinary content knowledge, subjective experience-based judgement, and the associated diverse skill sets. Accordingly, appropriate educational and training initiatives are important in developing this knowledge and skills base in the metabolomics community. For these initiatives to be successful, they must consider both pedagogical best practice and metabolomics-specific contextual challenges.Aim of reviewThe aim of this review is to provide consolidated pedag...
