TL;DR: Aerosol species which have been identified in the past as potentially important ice nuclei are introduced and their ice-nucleating ability when immersed in a supercooled droplet is addressed and the importance of ice nucleation by different aerosol types is estimated.

TL;DR: It is shown that addition of thiamine to cultures of the model green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii alters splicing of transcripts for the THI4 and THIC genes, encoding the first enzymes of the thiazole and pyrimidine branches ofThiamine biosynthesis, respectively, concomitant with an increase in intracellular thienine and TPP levels.

TL;DR: It is suggested that there is a reservoir of biological nano-INPs present in the environment which may, for example, become aerosolised in association with fertile soil dust particles.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental methodology which is sensitive to a wide range of ice nucleation efficiencies was used to characterize the immersion mode ice-nucleating activities of dusts.

TL;DR: This work shows that Affimer proteins, as is the case for other alternative binding scaffolds, represent complementary affinity reagents to antibodies for various molecular and cell biology applications.
