Enhanced rock weathering helps remove CO 2 from air and cools the Earth over geological time periods, while also promoting plant growth, but the molecular mechanism underlying enhanced plant growth is unclear. In this study, ionome and transcriptome analyses revealed the importance of trichome formation for the growth-promoting effects of olivine ground to enhance weathering. In Arabidopsis, the application of 10% (w/w) olivin...

Leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease posing significant global health challenges. Given the limited effective treatment options and associated constraints, many patients are unable to complete therapy. In this study, we report the remarkable leishmanicidal activity of onnamides derived from the marine sponge Theonella sp. against the promastigote form of Leishmania major (IC 50 = 0.2–140 nM) and demonstrate their sele...
