Fouling‐Free Inertial Microfluidic Cell Clarification for Lentivirus Manufacturing

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lentiviral vectors (LVVs) are widely used as gene‐delivery vehicles in cell and gene therapy, enabling stable integration of transgenes into target cells. However, efficient clarification of LVV harvest remains a major bottleneck in large‐scale manufacturing, as conventional depth filtration often results in significant product loss.

Comparing microplastic distribution and potential risk to zooplankton in American Samoan coastal waters and the Equatorial Pacific

Microplastics (MPs) are a growing threat to marine organisms due to risks of ingestion and toxin bioaccumulation. Zooplankton are especially vulnerable to MPs and are important as a key piece of the trophic web. However, MP abundance, type, and effect on

Mud and organic content are strongly correlated with microplastic contamination in a meandering riverbed

Communications Earth & Environment
The scale of microplastic pollution in river sediments is gradually being elucidated through an increasing number of large-scale studies. Nevertheless, microplastic distribution within a riverbed – a crucial aspect for quantification – remains poorly ...

Variability in the drivers of microplastic consumption by fish across four lake ecosystems

Frontiers in Earth Science
Microplastic (<5 mm) pollution has been documented globally throughout freshwater and marine ecosystems. Exposure to and ingestion of microplastics presents a threat to the health of aquatic and marine organisms and humans through the consumption of ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Microplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals

, 2015
We report for the first time the ingestion of microplastics by scleractinian corals, and the presence of microplastics in coral reef waters adjacent to inshore reefs on Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GRE, 18°31'S 146°23'E).

Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Reporting What Matters, or Reporting What Looks Good? Materiality and Balance in Post–Rana Plaza Apparel Sustainability Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainability reports (SRs) are widely criticized for vague disclosures and selective emphasis on positive outcomes, yet systematic research on two core SR challenges remains limited: materiality (whether disclosed content is relevant) and balance (whether both achievements and challenges are reported).

Microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter and its biogeochemical behaviors in aquatic environments: A review

Microplastic-derived dissolved organic matter (MP-DOM) exerts great effects on organic carbon pool and its environmental behaviors in natural waters due to increasing amounts of uncontrolled plastic disposal. However, systematic understanding of chemical

Barriers to the Adoption of Circular Economy Business Models in the Indian Textile Industry

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Indian textile industry has significant negative impacts on the environment. This industry needs to adopt a circular economy approach to become more sustainable; however, progress on this has been limited. In this study, we report on the barriers to adoption of Circular Economy Business Models (CEBMs) in the Indian textile industry.
