Culturing the Plastisphere: comparing methods to isolate culturable bacteria colonising microplastics
(Frontiers Media, 3 October 2023)Microplastics quickly become colonised by diverse microbial communities, known as the Plastisphere. There is growing concern that microplastics may support the enrichment and spread of pathogenic or antimicrobial resistant ... -
Short Communication: Marine litter ingestion by a Bryde’s whale (Balaenoptera edeni) in Mindanao, Philippines, and the need for consistent long-term recording of single-individual strandings
(International Whaling Commission, 27 September 2023)Strandings provide opportunities to collect data on interactions between megafauna and marine litter which help address the limited information available on the impacts of litter in developing countries, such as the ... -
Cancer-associated fibroblasts influence Wnt/PCP signaling in gastric cancer cells by cytoneme-based dissemination of ROR2
(National Academy of Sciences, 18 September 2023)Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a crucial component in the tumor microenvironment influencing cancer progression. Besides shaping the extracellular matrix, these fibroblasts provide signaling factors to facilitate ... -
The evolution of atmospheric particulate matter in an urban landscape since the Industrial Revolution
(Nature Research, 2 June 2023)Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) causes 3.7 million annual deaths worldwide and potentially damages every organ in the body. The cancer-causing potential of fine particulates (PM2.5) highlights the inextricable link ... -
Deductive automated pollen classification in environmental samples via exploratory deep learning and imaging flow cytometry
(Wiley / New Phytologist Foundation, 7 September 2023)Pollen and tracheophyte spores are ubiquitous environmental indicators at local and global scales. Palynology is typically performed manually by microscopic analysis; a specialised and time-consuming task limited in ...
