Decoding drivers of carbon flux attenuation in the oceanic biological pump [PDF]

Nature
The biological pump supplies carbon to the oceans' interior, driving long-term carbon sequestration and providing energy for deep-sea ecosystems1,2. Its efficiency is set by transformations of newly formed particles in the euphotic zone, followed by vertical flux attenuation via mesopelagic processes3.

A Modular Liver–Microbial Microfluidic Platform to Evaluate Therapeutic and Adverse Effects of Microbial Metabolites

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a modular microfluidic platform that connects liver cells with live microbes to mimic key aspects of the gut–liver interaction in steatosis. Using this system, both microbial metabolites and live bacteria significantly reduced fat accumulation in liver cells, but live microbes triggered inflammation and broader metabolic changes ...

The response of the ocean carbon cycle to artificial upwelling, ocean iron fertilization and the combination of both

Environmental Research Letters
Artificial upwelling (AU) and ocean iron fertilization (OIF) both have been proposed as marine carbon dioxide removal methods to enhance ocean carbon uptake by stimulating the biological carbon pump.
