Researchers report a highly sensitive detection method for monitoring the nanotoxicity associated with reactive oxygen species (ROS).
Specific examples of complex variants, differential effects of editing proteins on the mRNAs within and between T. brucei life stages, and possible control points in the holo-editosomes are examined.
Synthesis approaches, mechanisms of DNA response to the surrounding environment and biomedical applications are highlighted.

Soft robotic grippers demonstrate their ability to transport cargoes on demand.
Light is perhaps the main environmental cue (zeitgeber) that affects several aspects of physiology and behaviour, such as sleep/wake cycles, orientation of birds and bees, and leaf movements in plants. Temperature can serve as the main zeitgeber in the absence of light cycles, even though it does not lead to rhythmicity through the same mechanism as light.
