Mashup Score: 8Microplastics and human health - 3 year(s) ago
The ubiquity of microplastics (plastic particles <5 mm, including nanosized plastics <1 µm) in the global biosphere raises increasing concerns about their implications for human health ([ 1 ][1]–[ 3 ][2]). Recent evidence indicates that humans constantly inhale and ingest microplastics; however, whether these contaminants pose a substantial risk to human health is far from understood. The lack of...

Mashup Score: 13Single-domain antibodies make a difference - 3 year(s) ago
The spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, mediates attachment of the virion to the host cell, binding to the receptor, and fusion of the viral and host cell membranes. This releases the viral genomic RNA into the host cell cytoplasm, which is the start of virus replication. Antibodies that interfere with SARS-CoV-2 spike…

Mashup Score: 17Speedy galaxy evolution - 3 year(s) ago
The processes that transformed small, turbulent, relatively unstructured protogalaxies into rotating spiral or giant elliptical galaxies are not well understood. Most galaxies are expected to go through a spiral-like phase, maturing into an elliptical structure. Many local spiral galaxies have a classic rotating disk of young stars as well as a “bulge” of older red stars at their centers; these…

Galaxy evolution may be speedier than we thought: Evidence from an early galaxy indicates the presence of a rotating stellar disk and a central bulge, two features that were thought to be hallmarks of mature, older galaxies. ($) https://t.co/XvDQhgCX7L #SciMagPerspective

Mashup Score: 31Designing the right protection - 3 year(s) ago
Olefins are used to manufacture our everyday essentials, including plastics, detergents, and hand sanitizers. Olefins are conventionally produced from crude oil cracking, but environmental concerns drive the urgent search for alternative, more sustainable carbon feedstocks. Carbon-containing waste streams ranging from biomass to industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) to municipal waste are increasingly…

Mashup Score: 13Superspreading genomes - 3 year(s) ago
Individual contributions to epidemic spread vary. Although some infections may not cause any secondary cases, others are associated with so-called “superspreading” events in which numerous infections result from the same case. These events can shape the course of an epidemic, but their detection remains challenging. On page 588 of this issue, Lemieux et al. ([ 1 ][1]) show that phylogenetic…
