Moderate levels of oxygenation during the late stage of Earth's Great Oxidation Event

Frantz Ossa Ossa et al.

Summary: This study investigates the marine shales deposited during the Lomagundi Event in the Paleoproterozoic era, providing evidence for a highly productive and well-oxygenated photic zone. However, a subsequent deoxygenation of the atmosphere-ocean system led to enhanced denitrification and reduction of selenium oxyanions. The findings suggest that oxygen levels in the atmosphere-ocean system during this period were much lower than modern concentrations.

Cellular binding, uptake and biotransformation of silver nanoparticles in human T lymphocytes

Anzhela Malysheva et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the presence of silver nanoparticles in nanoparticulate form after being taken up by human lymphocytes. Biotransformation of AgNPs is primarily dominated by sulfidation, serving as a detoxification pathway for cells. Toxicity of AgNPs is mainly driven by internalized silver, with differences in toxicity between nanoparticles of different coatings and sizes being minimized when expressed as intracellular mass of silver per cell.

A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids

Jurgen F. H. Strassert et al.

Summary: Researchers evaluated the chronological possibility of proposed plastid origins and transmissions in eukaryotic phytoplankton through Bayesian molecular clock analyses. The study established a timeframe for the origin of red algal-derived plastids under scenarios of serial endosymbiosis, revealing that the hypotheses of serial endosymbiosis are chronologically possible.
