Waste-to-energy facilities are a key component of circular economy strategies, but their potential impact on air quality remains a public concern. This study evaluated whether the start-up of an energy recovery plant in northern Spain affected airborne levels of dioxins, furans (PCDD/Fs), and dioxin-like PCBs (dl-PCBs). Air samples were collected from 2017 to 2023 in […]

Inherited Retinal Dystrophies (IRDs), such as Stargardt’s disease (STGD), lack effective treatments. STGD is characterised by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, leading to lipofuscin accumulation, oxidative stress (OS) and Ca2+ dysregulation, ultimately causing photoreceptor death. This study evaluates the therapeutic potential of MP-004, a small molecule designed to modulate OS and maintain Ca2+ homeostasis through […]
