Abstract Insight in the spatial evolution of absolute land temperature is crucial for understanding the dynamics of East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) precipitation, which governs the water supply for over 20% of the global population. The spatiotemporal evolution of land surface temperatures in East Asia is however not well documented.

Perspectives for Advancing Biotechnological Succinic Acid Production
Succinic acid is an important molecule for sustainable chemical manufacturing, but its industrial production faces high costs and sustainability challenges, which are linked to feedstocks and excessive acid/base consumption. This opinion explores production routes based on next‐generation feedstocks and low‐pH fermentations to inspire novel cost ...

Evaluation of tetraether lipid-based liposomal carriers for encapsulation and retention of nucleoside-based drugs [PDF]
Although liposomal nanoparticles are one of the most versatile class of drug delivery systems, stable liposomal formulation of small neutral drug molecules still constitutes a challenge due to the low drug retention of current lipid membrane technologies.

Design and Synthesis of Archaea-inspired Tetraether Lipids [PDF]
Maintaining the correct ion homeostasis across membranes is a major challenge in both nature and artificial systems. Archaea, have evolved to solve membrane permeability problems to survive in extreme environments by incorporating unique structural ...

Biomarker evidence of a serpentinite chemosynthetic biosphere at the Mariana forearc
Present-day serpentinization systems, such as that at the Mariana forearc, are prominent sources of reduced volatiles, including molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), and are considered analogs for chemosynthetic ecosystems on early Earth.

Planktonic Lipidome Responses to Aeolian Dust Input in Low-Biomass Oligotrophic Marine Mesocosms
The effect and fate of dry atmospheric deposition on nutrient-starved plankton in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS; Crete, 2012) was tested by spiking oligotrophic surface seawater mesocosms (3 m3) with Saharan dust (SD; 1.6 g L−1; 23 nmol NOx mg−1; 2 ...
