Water footprint of nations amplified by scarcity in the Belt and Road Initiative
Heliyon, 2023 The growing water scarcity due to international trade poses a serious threat to global sustainability. Given the intensified international trade throughout the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), this paper tracks the virtual water trade and water footprint ...

Recent trends in emerging greywater management in India: An overview
Desalination and Water TreatmentWater, one of the most essential resources, is intrinsic to sustaining life. However, less than 5 % of fresh water is available in usable form. Over the past few decades, significant changes in water consumption patterns have severely impacted the ...

A synergistic framework for dynamic water scarcity assessment: integrated blue and green water
Journal of Water and Climate ChangeDynamic assessment of water scarcity utilising blue and green water can enhance water resource management. The traditional water scarcity assessment mainly considers blue water, ignoring green water, for static evaluation.

Making scarcity “enough”: The hidden household costs of adapting to water scarcity in Mexico City
PLOS Water, 2023 In the face of water scarcity due to climate change and population growth, cities around the world, especially in the Global South, increasingly provide intermittent, rather than continuous, water supply. Because an intermittent water supply has negative

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We have established a humanized orthotopic patient‐derived xenograft (Hu‐oPDX) mouse model of high‐grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) that recapitulates human tumor–immune interactions. Using combined anti‐PD‐L1/anti‐CD73 immunotherapy, we demonstrate the model's improved biological relevance and enhanced translational value for preclinical ...

MITF maintains genome stability in nonmelanocyte lineages
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.MITF is essential for melanocyte survival and acts as an oncogene in 10%–20% of melanomas. We show that MITF depletion causes genome instability in nonmelanocytic cells, leading to LATS2‐mediated P53 activation, cell cycle arrest, and apoptosis. This study highlights the role of MITF as a genome maintenance factor beyond the melanocyte lineage. Created
