HOSPITAL WASTEWATER CARRYOVER ECOTOXICITY: A MULTI-TAXA ASSAY
, 2021 Carryover toxicity (CT) goes uneliminated or is added by a technology. Current and emerging wastewater technologies are not being tested for CT. A new test based on four (EPA-OECD harmonized) bioassays was probed here on hospital wastewater (HWW) using three wastewater technologies.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Nanoplastics and Neurodegeneration: A Roadmap From Mechanism to Causation
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Nanoplastics are pervasive environmental contaminants with potentially profound implications for human health. Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between nanoplastic exposure and neurodegeneration, a key driver of ageing and dementia, yet causality remains unresolved.
