Potential Toxicity of Lanthanide Metals Used in Medicine and Electronics Mapped
Scientists have compiled the most complete library yet of lanthanide heavy metals, used in many high-tech breakthroughs and long assumed to be low risk, and their potential toxicity using baker's yeast to lanthanides. Their findings could help researchers uncover hidden pathways between lanthanide metals and disease.

The More Social the Shrimp, the Larger Its Genome
A team of researchers from Columbia University has found that eusocial snapping shrimp possess larger genomes compared to their less-social relatives. The larger genome comprises an accumulation of transposable elements – moving DNA sequences – providing new insights on the relationship between social and genome evolution.
