Background Early clinical data from studies of the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine (Novavax), a
recombinant nanoparticle vaccine against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (…

Despite plastics providing great benefits to our daily life, plastics accumulating in the
environment, especially microplastics (MPs; defined as particles <5 mm), can lead to a range of …

Background Meningococcal conjugate vaccines protect individuals directly, but can also
confer herd protection by interrupting carriage transmission. We assessed the effects of …

Plastic pollution is one of the global pressing environmental problems, threatening the
health of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. However, the influence of plastic residues and …

The Green Revolution successfully increased food production but in doing so created a
legacy of inherently leaky and unsustainable agricultural systems. Central to this are the …

Due to their substantial volume, subsoils contain more of the total soil carbon (C) pool than
topsoils. Much of this C is thousands of years old, suggesting that subsoils offer considerable …

Microplastics (MPs) can alter microbial communities and carbon (C) cycling in agricultural
soils. However, the mechanism by which MPs affect the decomposition of microbe-driven soil …

Viruses probably account for most cases of acute meningitis. Viral meningitis is often
assumed to be a largely benign disease. For the commonest pathogens causing meningitis, …

Microplastic contamination poses a significant threat to agroecosystem functioning,
provoking a move away from the use of conventional oil-based plastics in agriculture, to …

Organic manure is widely applied in agricultural systems to improve soil nutrient cycling and
other physicochemical properties. However, the biotic and abiotic mechanisms that drive C, …
