Microplastic shape can influence viral disease severity in rainbow trout
المصدر: Phys.org - latest science and technology news stories · نُشر
The shape of microplastics can influence how deadly a viral infection can be for fish, according to new research from William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The findings suggest that some forms of plastic pollution pose greater biological risks than others,
The shape of microplastics can influence how deadly a viral infection can be for fish, according to new research from William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The findings suggest that some forms of plastic pollution pose greater biological risks than others, offering scientists a potential path toward reducing the environmental impacts of microplastics.

The 'shape' of gene expression: Identifying genes that may share roles across species
Much of what we know about biology comes from animal models, particularly mice. Applying these insights to humans, however, is not always straightforward. For example, some of the genes important for the formation of germ cells, which eventually give rise to eggs or sperm, differ
