The decision by the Japanese government to release treated wastewater from the crippled Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean has ignited a storm of controversy and diplomatic strife. Several nations have promptly responded by halting imports of Japanese seafood, highlighting a complex mesh of environmental, health, and political factors at play.
Dr. Kenji Sumita of Osaka University explains that the Fukushima plant's wastewater undergoes a purification process using the Advanced Liquid Processing System (ALPS), effective at removing most radioactive substances except tritium.

December 11, 2020MIT
Huntington’s disease is a fatal inherited disorder that strikes most often in middle age with mood disturbances, uncontrollable limb movements, and cognitive decline. Years before symptom onset, brain imaging shows degeneration of the striatum, a brain region important for the rapid selection of behavioral actions. As the striatal neurons degenerate, their “identity” proteins, the building blocks that give particular cell types their unique function, are gradually turned off.
A new study from the lab of Institute Professor Ann Graybiel has found a surprising exception to this rule. The researchers discovered that in mouse models of Huntington’s disease, the cell identity protein MOR1, named as the Mu type Opioid Receptor, actually becomes more abundant as the striatal neurons degenerate.
