TL;DR: The effects of microplastic ingestion on the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca, were evaluated to evaluate the toxicological implications of the exposure of aquatic organisms to plastic particles and to quantify effects on reproduction, growth, and egestion.

TL;DR: This study examines the use of poly(ethylene terephthalate) capillary‐channeled polymer (C‐CP) fibers in a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) protocol to isolate exosomes from diverse matrices of practical concern and demonstrates the ability to isolate extracellular vesicles enriched in exosome with comparable yields and size distributions on a much faster time scale when compared to traditional isolation methods.

TL;DR: The repeated, spontaneous generation of short, intense bursts of fluorescence photons results in a localization precision of ∼0.6 nm, about 4 times better than typical resolution obtained by localization of dye molecules.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to determine where proteins and polysaccharides deposit inside polymeric microfiltration membranes when a fluid containing these materials is filtered.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented data on membrane morphology characterization by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), a minimally invasive technique that utilizes optical, rather than mechanical, sectioning to provide three-dimensional imaging.
