Quantum dots bind nanosheet to promote nanomaterial stability and resist endotoxin-induced fibrosis and PM2.5-induced pneumonia

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022
Endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a harmful substance commonly found in various environments that causes lung fibrosis. Exposure to PM2.5 also increases the risk of respiratory diseases.

Extending Service Beyond Active Duty: Generalizability of Rheumatoid Arthritis Research Conducted Among US Veterans

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Biomedical research involving US veterans continues to advance health care beyond the Veterans Health Administration. This is particularly true in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), where veteran‐centric research has uncovered novel insights into pathogenesis, risk factors, and disease manifestations, informing clinical care and research across both veteran ...

Thresholds in aridity and soil carbon-to-nitrogen ratio govern the accumulation of soil microbial residues

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
Aridity, soil nutrient stoichiometry and bulk carbon content are reliable predictors of microbial residue accumulation in soil carbon pools, according to a meta-analysis of amino sugar concentrations in grasslands, woodlands and forests.

Mapping the Social Network Structure and Composition of Black Individuals With Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Conditions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Our objective was to describe the social networks of Black individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions and understand the clustering of health‐related behaviors to inform future community‐based, peer‐led interventions. Methods We used an adapted Personal Network Survey for Clinical Research (PERSNET) to map the personal social ...

Decabromodiphenyl ethane induces locomotion neurotoxicity and potential Alzheimer’s disease risks through intensifying amyloid-beta deposition by inhibiting transthyretin/transthyretin-like proteins

Environment International, 2022
As a major alternative to traditional brominated flame retardants (BFRs), decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) is widely used and has been commonly detected in various environmental media and organisms.

Discrepancies Between Micro Versus Macroscale Viscoelastic Properties in a Microplastic‐Tissue Composite Model

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the discrepancies between bulk mechanics and spatial mapping in a tissue‐mimetic hydrogel model. Microplastic particles create localized stiff mechanical microenvironments that are detectable by cellular‐scale nanoindentation but leave bulk properties unchanged as measured by rheology.

Non‐Additive Criteria Assessment in Sustainability Evaluation of High Entropy Alloys: A Toxicity‐Weighted Framework

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Sustainability assessment requires methodologies that appropriately distinguish between additive and non‐additive material properties. A toxicity‐weighted scoring system is developed and applied that accounts for the disproportionate influence of highly toxic constituents through nonlinear weighting functions, providing more realistic estimates than ...

Endogenous Environmental Policy when Pollution is Transboundary [PDF]

We analyze the formation of environmental policy to regulate transboundary pollution if governments are self-interested. In a common agency framework, we portray the environmental policy calculus of two political supportmaximizing governments that are in

Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity

Communications Earth & Environment
Retreaded tires constitute a substantial segment of the commercial tire market and are an important source of tire wear particles (TWPs), yet the environmental risks of this major microplastic category remain uninvestigated.
