Pedestrian traffic is the main driver of macro- and large microplastic debris deposition in urban stormwater drains

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Land-based sources are the greatest contributors of plastic pollution found in aquatic environments. Although plastic debris items spilling into natural watercourses from stormwater outflow sites have been investigated, this study provides details of the

Input of plastic debris in an urban tropical river system

open access: yes, 2019
Land-based sources contribute approximately 80% of anthropogenic debris in marine environments. A main pathway is believed to be rivers and storm-water systems, yet this input is rarely quantified.

Recycling. Recycling of Plastic Debris.

open access: yesShigen-to-Sozai, 1997
The material recycling rate of the plastic wastes in 1995 was 11%, which means 950, 000 tons of plastic were recycled as the materials. Taking a look at them by the production sources, the plastic wastes such as the waste pieces from molding processes, off-specification products, etc.

An Anti‐Amyloidogenic Approach to Specifically Block Memory Consolidation in Mice for Therapeutic Intervention

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional amyloid conversion of the translation regulator CPEB3 is essential for long‐term memory persistence. This study demonstrates that targeting this molecular switch with the anti‐amyloidogenic peptide QBP1 selectively blocks CPEB3 fibrillation without disrupting phase separation.

Bacterial Candidates for Colonization and Degradation of Marine Plastic Debris

open access: yes, 2019
With the rising plastic pollution in the oceans, research on the plastisphere-the microorganisms interacting with marine plastic debris-has emerged. Microbial communities colonizing plastic have been characterized from several ocean regions and they are ...
