Dust storms and human health

Clean Air Journal, 2014
Dust storms play a pervasive role in the Earth system. They are events of considerable extent and of frequent occurrence in drylands. The amount of suspended material they contain is an important aspect of dust storms in relationship to health. They transport particulates, pollutants and biological materials for long distances downwind.

Unveiling the Taxonomic Diversity and Unprecedented Biosynthetic Treasure of the Phylum Myxococcota

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Natural products remain vital sources of therapeutics, and the phylum Myxococcota constitutes an especially rich reservoir for them. Based on decades of microbiological efforts, we present 154 new Myxococcota genomes and revise taxonomy quadrupling the number of families and genera.

Data‐Driven Design of Self‐Adhesive Epidermal Electrodes and Sensors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents self‐adhesive, stretchable epidermal electrodes and sensors developed through a data‐driven design framework that integrates artificial neural networks with genetic algorithms. By tailoring optimization objectives, either maximizing electrical conductivity and adhesion or enhancing piezoresistive sensitivity, the study enables the ...

A Dust Storm at Sea [PDF]

Nature, 1892
A FEW days ago, while returning to Tokio from the southern part of Japan, I joined the s.s. Yokohama Maru, which, whilst crossing from Shanghai to Nagasaki had passed through a curious dust storm. Small quantities of the dust were yet to be seen in sheltered corners of the vessel. The commander, Captain R. Swain, who gave me a specimen of the material,

Polystyrene Nanoplastics Drive β‐Cell Dedifferentiation Through Dendritic Cell‐Intrinsic MHC‐I‐Dependent Inflammatory Crosstalk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polystyrene nanoplastics disrupt pancreatic immune–endocrine homeostasis by promoting MHC‐I‐associated dendritic cell activation and inflammatory crosstalk with β cells. This immune remodeling drives β‐cell dedifferentiation, impairs insulin secretion, and aggravates metabolic dysfunction, revealing a previously unrecognized immunometabolic mechanism ...

STUDY SOME PROPERTIES OF LOCAL AND STORM DUST PHENOMENA IN BAGHDAD CITY

Al-Mustansiriyah Journal of Science, 2017
This investigation has been conducted to study some properties of local storm dust phenomena in Baghdad city. The monthly average of dust (g/m²)  in Baghdad  range from 10.2 g/m²  in Nov. to 43.7 g/m² in April. The local dust has a high Aerobic bacteria

A Multidimensional Engineering Strategy Reprograms Microglia via Targeted and Sustained‐Release Extracellular Vesicles for Spinal Cord Injury Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A multifunctional EV‐based nanoplatform (Ang‐TEVs@Gel) was engineered via preconditioning, surface targeting, and ROS‐responsive hydrogel encapsulation to reprogram microglia. This system restored autophagy via miR‐664a‐3p/PIK3CA axis, cleared myelin debris, resolved neuroinflammation, and promoted axon remyelination, ultimately achieving robust motor ...

Overcoming Drug Resistance by Paclitaxel Resistance in Triple‐Negative Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In the murine triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC) model, chemotherapy effectively increases tumor neoantigen burden (TNB). Here, the study constructs a liposomal nanovaccine using antigens derived from in vitro chemotherapy‐treated paclitaxel‐resistant TNBC 4T1 cells.

Dust Storms

Ibn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2017
This study deals with the phenomena of dust storms in Iraq based on the data recorded by the Iraqi Organization for three stations which are: Mosul, Baghdad, and Nasiriyah. 60  years was  the    period and  the  relation  between the  three stations data covered dust storms cases and the wind speed was also studied.
