Biphasic lipid extraction from microalgae after PEF-treatment reduces the energy demand of the downstream process by Ioannis Papachristou, Natalja Nazarova, Rüdiger Wüstner, Robin Lina, Wolfgang Frey, Aude Silve

“…It was compensated however, by the significant solvent reduction (37 mL to 75.6 mL respectively), in particular the ethanol minimization. For the extraction of 1 L lipids, it was estimated that the energy consumption ratio for the biphasic process was 1.6 compared to 9.9 for monophasic, making clearly the most preferential one. …”

Pulmonary and systemic immune alterations in rats exposed to airborne lunar dust by Brian E. Crucian, Heather Quiriarte, Chiu-wing Lam, Mayra Nelman, Audrie A. Colorado, Douglass M. Diak, John T. James

“…Plasma cytokine levels were unchanged in all treated rats compared to controls; however, altered mitogen-stimulated cytokine production profiles were observed consisting of increased IL-1β and IL-6 and decreased IL-2. There were minimal adverse immune effects, in both lung or peripheral blood, following low-dose exposure to 20.8 mg/m3 lunar dust.ConclusionExposures to high concentrations of lunar dust resulted in persistent lung inflammation and some systemic immune dysregulation that did not subside even 13 weeks after the dust exposure. …”
