Low-energy channel for mass transfer in Pt crystal initiated by molecule impact by Babicheva, Rita I., Evazzade, Iman, Korznikova, Elena A., Shepelev, Igor A., Zhou, Kun, Dmitriev, Sergey V.

“…Crystal surface bombardment by atoms or molecules, neutral or ionized, occurs both in ambient conditions and in many technological operations, such as surface plasma treatment, ion implantation, etc. Recently, it was established that the impact of a molecule initiates the mass transfer in the one-dimensional Frenkel-Kontorova atomic chain more efficiently than that of a single atom. …”

Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Herein, the potential deleterious biological effects of pristine and in vitro digested polystyrene (PS) MPs of varying sizes (i.e., 0.1, 1, and 10 µm) are systematically examined over a wide concentration range of 25–400 µg mL−1 on two human intestinal cell lines, namely Caco-2 and NCM 460. Specifically, significant internalization of 0.1 and 1 µm PS -MPs have been observed in both cell types 24 h postexposure. …”
