Pass the salt please! From a review to a theorical framework for integrating salinization impacts in food LCA [PDF]

, 2014
Food LCA should include salinization. Salinization is a threat not only to arable land but also to freshwater resources. Nevertheless, salinization impacts have been rarely and partially included in LCA so far.

A Cre‐dependent lentiviral vector for neuron subtype‐specific expression of large proteins

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We designed a versatile and modular lentivector comprising a Cre‐dependent switch and self‐cleaving 2A peptide and tested it for co‐expression of GFP and a 2.8 kb gene of interest (GOI) in mouse cortical parvalbumin (PV+) interneurons and midbrain dopamine (TH+) neurons.

Spatial distribution and risk assessment of microplastics in surface sediments in semi-enclosed waters: a case study of Laizhou Bay

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine ecosystems are the most important sinks for microplastics (MPs) from inland sources, and the input of large quantities of MPs into the oceans poses a serious threat to marine organisms and ecosystems.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

Progress of Euhalophyte Adaptation to Arid Areas to Remediate Salinized Soil

Agriculture, 2023
With the increasing shortage of water resources, the current management of saline–alkali lands in semi-arid and arid areas has gradually transformed from “flooding irrigation with drainage” in the past to the combination of controlling regional water and

Sensitivity of Dar Es Salaam coastal aquifer to climate change with regard to seawater intrusion and groundwater availability [PDF]

, 2016
This paper presents the initial results of three years of investigation activities, carried on in the Dar es Salaam coastal plain (Tanzania) by the Adapting to Climate Change in Coastal Dar es Salaam (ACC-DAR) project, a cofounded research project ...

Substrate specificity of Burkholderia pseudomallei multidrug transporters is influenced by the hydrophilic patch in the substrate‐binding pocket

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Multidrug transporters BpeB and BpeF from the Gram‐negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei have a hydrophilic patch in their substrate‐binding pocket. Drug susceptibility tests and growth curve analyses using an Escherichia coli recombinant expression system revealed that the hydrophilic patches of BpeB and BpeF are involved in the substrate ...

Risk assessment method for soil secondary salinization based on hydrological frequency analysis

Ecological Indicators
Soil salinization represents a major contributor to land degradation globally. Quantitative risk assessment of soil salinization provides the fundamental basis for effective salinity management strategies.
