Bioethics transformed: 40 years of the value of life.

Camb Q Healthc Ethics

December 2024

Durham Law School, Palatine Centre, Durham, UK.

This article examines the evolution of bioethics over the past four decades since the publication of John Harris' seminal work, "The Value of Life" (1985). It argues that while the core principles articulated by Harris remain relevant, bioethics has undergone significant transformation across four key domains. First, the expanding frontiers of biotechnology have necessitated engagement with complex issues beyond individual clinical ethics.

Metal tolerance of Río Tinto fungi.

Front Fungal Biol

October 2024

Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa (CBMSO, CSIC-UAM), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Madrid, Spain.

Southwest Spain's Río Tinto is a stressful acidic microbial habitat with a noticeably high concentration of toxic heavy metals. Nevertheless, it has an unexpected degree of eukaryotic diversity in its basin, with a high diversity of fungal saprotrophs. Although some studies on the eukaryotic diversity in Rio Tinto have been published, none of them used molecular methodologies to describe the fungal diversity and taxonomic affiliations that emerge along the river in different seasons.

Somatic mutation rates scale with time not growth rate in long-lived tropical trees.

Elife

October 2024

Department of Computational Biology and Medical Sciences, Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, The University of Tokyo, Chiba, Japan.

The rates of appearance of new mutations play a central role in evolution. However, mutational processes in natural environments and their relationship with growth rates are largely unknown, particular in tropical ecosystems with high biodiversity. Here, we examined the somatic mutation landscapes of two tropical trees, (slow-growing) and (fast-growing), in central Borneo, Indonesia.

Persistent Environmental Injustice due to Brake and Tire Wear Emissions and Heavy-Duty Trucks in Future California Zero-Emission Fleets.

Environ Sci Technol

October 2024

Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Fielding School of Public Health, University of California, Los Angeles, California 90095, United States.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study models fine particulate matter (PM) emissions in California, specifically focusing on Los Angeles County in 2050, when almost all vehicles are expected to be ZEVs, highlighting differing benefits between heavy-duty trucks and light-duty passenger vehicles for disadvantaged areas.
  • * Despite the advantages of ZEVs, continued disparities in PM levels due to brake and tire wear emissions and increased truck traffic persist, prompting the need for targeted ZEV policies and optimized freight systems to enhance environmental justice.
