Aged ZnO Nanoparticles Promote Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis by Remodeling the Pulmonary Microenvironment Through the CXCL10/Wnt/β‐Catenin Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In summary, pulmonary exposure to ZnO NPs, particularly aged NPs, promotes breast cancer metastasis by remodelling the lung tumour microenvironment. Aged ZnO NPs enrich M2‐macrophages, MDSCs and activated CAFs to form an immunosuppressive metastatic niche. CXCL10 from these cells drives metastasis via Wnt/β‐catenin activation.

Next Generation Antimicrobial Coatings for High Touch Surfaces: Application, Benefits, Risks, Environmental Impacts and Sustainability Aspects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial coatings for high touch surfaces promise infection control but are too often validated only in the lab. This review shows that active‐agent release governs both human toxicity and environmental impact and argues that durability and real‐world performance must be primary design criteria, placing a safe‐and‐sustainable‐by‐design framework ...

Construction Trade Work Is Associated With Accelerated Decline in Kidney Function

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Construction workers are exposed to airborne particulates, organic solvents, and metals—agents linked to elevated risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Few studies have evaluated whether construction trade work is associated with longitudinal changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a key indicator of kidney function.

Driving continuous improvement of sustainability certification for industrial biobased systems through comprehensive sustainability requirements

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Existing monitoring frameworks for sustainability certification schemes and labels (CSLs) have largely prioritised environmental aspects, while the social and economic pillars of sustainability remain comparatively underdeveloped. Also, dedicated circularity requirements tailored to biobased systems are still largely lacking, despite being ...
