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

“…In laboratory, starved copepods were observed to take in a piece of fibrous microplastic sedimented on the bottom. While no individual ingested the entire fibre, the tip of the ingested fibre reached deep into the gut of the copepods. …”

Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”

Evaluating new malaria vaccine candidates by Noé, A

“…Liver-resident memory CD8+ T cells (TRM) are necessary for protection against rodent malaria by this vaccine regimen. Ultimately, to most faithfully assess immunological responses by these local, specialised, hepatic T cells, periodic liver sampling is necessary. …”

Evaluation of subconjunctival liposomal steroids for the treatment of experimental uveitis by Wong, Chee Wai, Czarny, Bertrand, Metselaar, Josbert M., Ho, Candice, Ng, Si Rui, Barathi, Amutha Veluchamy, Storm, Gert, Wong, Tina T.

“…The current gold standard for treatment is topical steroids, but low ocular bioavailability and compliance issues with the intensive dosing regimen limit the efficacy of this treatment. Liposomes as a drug delivery system may help to overcome these problems. …”

Myopathy-causing Q147P TPM2 mutation shifts tropomyosin strands further towards the open position and increases the proportion of strong-binding cross-bridges during the ATPase cyc... by Karpicheva, OE, Simonyan, AO, Kuleva, NV, Redwood, CS, Borovikov, YS

“…Despite its reduced affinity for actin in co-sedimentation assay, the Q147P mutant incorporates into the muscle fiber. …”

Exploring the therapeutic potential of 5-fluorouracil-loaded calcium carbonate nanoparticles combined with natural compound thymoquinone for colon cancer treatment by Deng, Xi, Yang, Zhongming, Chan, Kim Wei, Abu Bakar, Md Zuki

“…These results provide evidence for 5FU-CaCO3np as a novel regimen against colon cancer. Combining 5FU-CaCO3np and TQ may offer a new perspective for colon cancer therapy.…”

Protracted carbon burial following the Early Jurassic Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (Posidonia Shale, Lower Saxony Basin, Germany) by Celestino, RFS, Ruhl, M, Dickson, AJ, Idiz, E, Jenkyns, HC, Leng, MJ, Mattioli, E, Minisini, D, Hesselbo, SP

“…The bio- and chemostratigraphic framework presented demonstrates that (i) the rock record of the T-OAE at the studied locality registered highly condensed sedimentation and/or multiple hiatuses and (ii) the deposition of organic-rich black shale extended significantly beyond the level of the T-OAE, thereby contrasting with well-studied sections of the Posidonia Shale in southern Germany but showing similarities with geographically nearby basins such as the Paris Basin (France). …”

Tapered angle microfluidic device for cell separation using hydrodynamic principle by Jamrus, Muhammad Asyraf, Ahmad, Mohd. Ridzuan

“…This design enables particle separation based on hydrodynamic theory and the sedimentation process. A mixture of 3 μm and 10 μm polystyrene (PS) microbeads were effectively separated when the taper angle approached 20 degrees, and separation continued until the taper angle reached 89 degrees. …”

Bacteria and archaea on Earth and their abundance in biofilms by Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…Most bacteria and archaea on Earth (1.2 × 10³⁰ cells) exist in the 'big five' habitats: deep oceanic subsurface (4 × 10²⁹), upper oceanic sediment (5 × 10²⁸), deep continental subsurface (3 × 10²⁹), soil (3 × 10²⁹) and oceans (1 × 10²⁹). …”

Stratigraphy and taphonomy of tubular microfossils in Terreneuvian rocks of the Soltanieh Formation, Soltanieh Mountains, Northern Iran by Etemad-Saeed, N, Anderson, RP, Tosca, NJ, Bergmann, KD, Knoll, AH

“…X-ray diffraction and SEM-EDS reveal that Soltanieh tubes were largely infilled by variable mixes of pyrite framboids (and their oxidation products), silica, and clay minerals. In contrast, the sediment matrix is dominated by K-Al-silicate with lesser amounts of an Al-oxide/(oxy)hydroxide phase. …”
