Detection of ultrafast electron energization by whistler-mode chorus waves in the magnetosphere of Earth by S. Kurita, Y. Miyoshi, S. Saito, S. Kasahara, Y. Katoh, S. Matsuda, S. Yokota, Y. Kasahara, A. Matsuoka, T. Hori, K. Keika, M. Teramoto, I. Shinohara

“…This technique exposes short-lived flux increases significantly larger than those observable with the standard time resolution. Our findings indicate that these transient flux variations result from the nonlinear acceleration of electrons induced by the chorus waves, highlighting the importance of nonlinear wave-particle interactions in creating high energy electrons in the Earth’s magnetosphere. …”

Effects of environmental bisphenol S exposure on male rat reproductive health and gut-blood-testicular axis integrity by Biran Zhu, Zequan Zhang, Ying Xie, Min Huang, Yu Chen, Yong Yang, Xiongjie Shi, Jian Han, Lihua Yang, Min Zhao

“…After 28 days of exposure to BPS (0.05 and 20 mg/kg), the results showed a reduction in weight gain and the induction of reproductive toxicity in male rats, including decreased sperm parameters, lower sperm viability, and increased abnormal sperm density and mortality. These observations were made by counting with a hemocytometer under the optical microscope. 16S rRNA and untargeted metabolomic elucidated potential impacts on the gut-blood-testicular axis: BPS impaired the physical barrier, evoked inflammation, and resulted in dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. …”

Glycosylated lysosomal membrane protein promotes tissue repair after spinal cord injury by reducing iron deposition and ferroptosis in microglia by Fangru Ouyang, Meige Zheng, Jianjian Li, Jinxin Huang, Jianan Ye, Jingwen Wang, Yuanzhe Zhao, Fangli Shan, Ziyu Li, Shuishen Yu, Fei Yao, Dasheng Tian, Li Cheng, Juehua Jing

“…Microglia have been identified as having a high capacity for iron deposition, yet it remains unclear whether microglia undergo ferroptosis while phagocytosing excessive amounts of iron after spinal cord injury (SCI). Here, we observed scattered iron around the epicenter of the injured spinal cord at 7 days post-injury (dpi) in mice, which then accumulated in the lesion core at 14 dpi. …”
