The 2023 China report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: taking stock for a thriving future

Description: Authors of the article declare that, with growing health risks from climate change and a trend of increasing carbon emissions from coal, it is time for China to take action. The 2023 China report of the Lancet countdown continues to track progress on health and climate change in China, while now also attributing the health risks of climate change to human activities and providing examples of feasible and effective climate solutions.

Commentary on “Uncover the Effect of Solvent and Temperature on Solid-Liquid Equilibrium Behavior of L-Norvaline”

Description: This article provides a commentary on several sets of reported curve-fit parameters for the Modified Apelblat model that do not correctly back-calculate the observed solubility behavior of L-norvaline in the binary aqueous-alcohol solvent mixtures.

Dense Locally Finite Subgroups of Automorphism Groups of Ultraextensive Spaces

Description: Article verifying a conjecture of Vershik by showing that Hall’s universal countable locally finite group can be embedded as a dense subgroup in the isometry group of the Urysohn space and in the automorphism group of the random graph. It shows the same for all automorphism groups of known infinite ultraextensive spaces.

Finding new friends and revisiting old ones – how plant lipid droplets connect with other subcellular structures

Description: Article talks about how the number of described contact sites between different subcellular compartments and structures in eukaryotic cells has increased dramatically in recent years, which has substantially reinforced the well-known premise that these kinds of connections are essential for overall cellular organization. The authors discuss contact sites involving plant lipid droplets (LDs), including LD-endoplasmic reticulum (ER) connections that mediate the biogenesis of new LDs at the ER, LD… more

Integrating low-cost sensor monitoring, satellite mapping, and geospatial artificial intelligence for intra-urban air pollution predictions☆

Description: Article describes how there is a growing need to apply geospatial artificial intelligence analysis to disparate environmental datasets to find solutions that benefit frontline communities. This research addresses these challenges by leveraging a strategically deployed, extensive low-cost sensor (LCS) network that was rigorously calibrated through an optimized neural network.

Long-range current-induced spin accumulation in chiral crystals

Description: Article states that chiral materials, similarly to human hands, have distinguishable right-handed and left-handed enantiomers which may behave differently in response to external stimuli, so for the first time the authors use an approach based on the density functional theory (DFT)+PAOFLOW calculations to quantitatively estimate the so-called collinear Rashba–Edelstein effect (REE) that generates spin accumulation parallel to charge current and can manifest as chirality-dependent charge-to-spin… more

Manipulating microRNA miR408 enhances both biomass yield and saccharification efficiency in poplar

Description: Article describes how the conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks to fermentable sugar for biofuel production is inefficient, and most strategies to enhance efficiency directly target lignin biosynthesis, with associated negative growth impacts. The authors demonstrate, for both laboratory-and field-grown plants, that expression of Pag-miR408 in poplar significantly enhances saccharification, with no requirement for acid-pretreatment, while promoting plant growth.

Mapping Health Fragility and Vulnerability in Air Pollution–Monitoring Networks in Dallas–Fort Worth

Description: Article describes how environmental air pollution remains a major contributor to negative health outcomes and mortality, but the relationship between socially vulnerable populations and air pollution is not well understood. This paper seeks to understand how air pollution monitor placement strategies and policy may neglect social vulnerabilities and therefore potentially underestimate exposure burdens in vulnerable populations.

Neuron Navigator 1 (Nav1) regulates the response to cocaine in mice

Description: Article describes how genetic variation accounts for much of the risk for developing a substance use disorder, but the underlying genetic factors and their genetic effector mechanisms are mostly unknown. To test their genetic hypothesis, the authors generated and characterized Nav1 knockout mice.

Records of Parochlus steinenii in the Maritime Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions

Description: This article provides the summary of the reports of the geographical distribution in the Maritime Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions of Parochlus steinenii (Gercke, 1889) (Diptera, Chironomidae), the only flying insect occurring naturally in the Antarctic continent. This database was developed as one of the main objectives of two Chilean-funded research projects addressing understanding the effects of climate change on sub-Antarctic and Antarctic insects.
