Splicing-defective mutants of the yeast mitochondrial COXI gene can be corrected by transformation with a hybrid maturase gene

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 1991

Summary

This study addresses micro- and nanoplastic contamination, noting that nanoplastics are of heightened concern because their tiny size allows them to cross cellular and biological barriers. The authors identify a fundamental knowledge gap caused by the absence of effective methods to detect and characterize particles smaller than 1 micrometer.

Micro-nano plastics originating from the prevalent usage of plastics have raised increasingly alarming concerns worldwide. However, there remains a fundamental knowledge gap in nanoplastics because of the lack of effective analytical ...Plastics are now omnipresent in our daily lives. The existence of microplastics (1 µm to 5 mm in length) and possibly even nanoplastics (<1 μm) has recently raised health concerns. In particular, nanoplastics are believed to be more toxic since their ...
