A hidden lethal effect of long microplastic fibres on the coastal copepod Acartia erythraea by Takahashi, Kazutaka, Teh, Jun Chin

“…We investigated the lethal effects of a long fibrous microplastic (the range of lengths, widths, and thicknesses were 1.5–3.6 mm, 10–16 μm, and 7–8.5 μm, respectively) made of polyethylene terephthalate textile, on the marine copepod Acartia erythraea. …”

Methodology research in clinical studies for Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) of the skin: Addressing design, conduct and relevance for context and target population by Erber, A

“…<p>Buruli Ulcer (BU) and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) are two Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) of the skin. Both are ‘diseases of poverty’ and can cause long-term disabilities. …”

Highly reliable carbon nanotube-based composite fibers cross-linked by a 3D polymer network by Sun, Gengzhi, Zheng, Lianxi, Zhan, Zhaoyao, Jiang, Chunbo, Hansen, Reinack V., Khor, Yengpeng, Pang, John Hock Lye

“…However, CNTs inside a CNT fiber slide considerably during static and cyclic tensile tests, which is unfavorable for long-term performances. In this study, a second phase has been introduced into CNT fiber in order to enhance its reliability.…”

Single cell hydrodynamic stretching and microsieve filtration reveal genetic, phenotypic and treatment-related links to cellular deformability by Li, Fenfang, Cima, Igor, Vo, Jess Honganh, Tan, Min-Han, Ohl, Claus-Dieter

“…In another model, the breast epithelial cells MCF10A with deletion of the TP53 gene are also significantly more deformable compared to their isogenic wildtype counterpart, indicating a potential genetic link to cellular deformability. We also find that the drug docetaxel leads to an increase in the size of A549 lung cancer cells. …”
