Scientists discuss how the principles of "reduce, reuse, recycle" could be applied to satellites and spacecraft. spkl.io/63325AgJ2F

@cp-chemcircularity.bsky.social
This schematic outlines the implementation of circular economy strategies—reduce (light blue), reuse (green), and recycle (yellow)—across five key stages in the space sector: material, design and manufacturing, launch, service, and end of life (EOL).

"The late arrival of domestic #cats in China via the Silk Road after 3,500 years of human-leopard cat commensalism" spkl.io/63320AdF6i

He Yu, @joel-alves.bsky.social, @gregerlarson.bsky.social, Shu-Jin Luo & colleagues
#CellGenomics
Leopard cats lived commensally with humans in ancient China for over 3,500 years before domestic cats were introduced via Silk Road merchants around 1,400 years ago. Ancient DNA shows that while two small felids once occupied anthropogenic environments, only domestic cats became fully domesticated and globally distributed.

"Rediscovery of the greater chestnut #weevil highlights the power of digital platforms in biodiversity research and conservation" spkl.io/63326Ad07u

@Michael A. Charles & colleagues
@currentbiology.bsky.social
Charles et al. rediscover the presumed - extinct greater chestnut weevil (Curculio caryatrypes) in the eastern US via iNaturalist, and genomic data and field surveys confirm identity and active reproduction, revealing persistence despite American chestnut collapse and underscoring the power of digital platforms for biodiversity research and conservation

"Stress-induced sympathetic hyperactivation drives hair follicle necrosis to trigger autoimmunity" spkl.io/63326Ad0f6

Ya-Chieh Hsu & colleagues
@cp-cell.bsky.social
Acute stress causes immediate hair follicle necrosis and hair loss via sympathetic nerves, which in turn activates and expand s autoreactive CD8 ⁺ T cells targeting hair follicles. Thus, a single stress event not only causes immediate tissue damage but also predisposes the tissue to future autoimmune attack.

This #moss survived 9 months directly exposed to the vacuum space and could still reproduce after returning to Earth. 🌚 🌿 spkl.io/63322AdFrp

Sporophyte sample from the space exposure experiment on the ISS CREDIT Tomomichi Fujita Highlights: P. patens spores survive simulate d space conditions with high resilience. Over 80% of spores remained viable after 9 months outside the ISS. Sporangiu m may provide protection against UV, heat, and intensive light stresses. Bryophyte could be used for planetary greening and life support systems.

"Environmental exposure augments the abundance and transferability of antibiotic resistance genes in the respiratory tract" spkl.io/63323AdlHR

Xue-yan Zheng (郑雪燕), Zhang Wang & colleagues
@cp-cellreports.bsky.social
Yi et al. show that environmental exposures such as smoking and biofuels elevate the abundance and mobility of human respiratory antibiotic resistance genes, which are associated with impaired lung function. These findings translate to a phenotypic resistance in mouse lung, highlighting the need for tackling pollution to combat antibiotic resistance.

"Keystone Pseudomonas species in the wheat phyllosphere microbiome mitigate Fusarium head blight by altering host pH" spkl.io/63323AdYmJ

#NanjingAgriculturalUniversity Wu Xiong, Xuewen Gao, Qin Gu & colleagues
@cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social
Fusarium graminearum (F. graminearum) pathogen induces wheat phyllosphere alkalinization, promoting the development of Fusarium head blight (FHB). Xu et al. show that host-acidifying Pseudomonas, selectively enriched in the wheat phyllosphere during F. graminearum invasion, counteract the pathogen-induced alkalinization through organic acid production, thereby suppressing FHB and emerging as effective biocontrol agents
