Current advances in the structural biology and molecular engineering of PETase

The study reviews advances in the structural biology and molecular engineering of PETase, an enzyme from the bacterium Ideonella sakaiensis that can break down PET plastic at moderate temperatures. Researchers discuss efforts to enhance the enzyme's activity and thermal stability through protein engineering, which could lead to more efficient and environmentally friendly PET recycling strategies.

Hepatotoxic mechanisms of functionalized nanopolystyrene: decoding the role of ionic surface groups

Researchers exposed mice to polystyrene nanoplastics with different surface charges via drinking water, finding that charged particles accumulate in liver sinusoids and induce hepatocyte ferroptosis through an endoplasmic reticulum stress cascade, while neutral particles cause endothelial cell senescence through lysosomal dysfunction.
