Intracranial injection of genetically modified, mosquito non-transmissible Zika virus: Safety in primates and ramifications for brain tumor therapy Open
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are incurable brain tumors. Zika virus (ZIKV) has specificity in killing GBM stem cells, which drive treatment resistance. In mouse models of GBM, ZIKV also generates an anti-tumor inflammatory response and prolongs su…

Conflict-induced ship traffic disruptions constrain cloud sensitivity to stricter marine pollution regulations Open
Starting in November 2023, the Houthi militia occupying northeastern Yemen has attacked ships passing through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a chokepoint on the Europe-Asia route via the Suez Canal. Cargo ship traffic through the Red Sea has si…

Key Gaps in Models' Physical Representation of Climate Intervention and Its Impacts Open
Solar radiation modification (SRM) is increasingly discussed as a potential method to ameliorate some negative effects of climate change. However, unquantified uncertainties in physical and environmental impacts of SRM impede informed deba…

Helminth infections affect host immune responses to viral infections and vaccines Open
Helminths are highly prevalent in many regions of the world. Due to the chronic nature of most helminth infections, these parasites are proficient immunomodulators of their hosts. This modulation often leads to skewed or even impaired immu…

Testing Cloud Adjustment Hypotheses for the Maintenance of Earth's Hemispheric Albedo Symmetry With Natural Experiments Open
Earth's Northern and Southern Hemispheres reflect essentially equal amounts of sunlight. How—and whether—this hemispheric albedo symmetry is maintained remains a mystery. We decompose Earth's hemispheric albedo symmetry into components ass…

Has Reducing Ship Emissions Brought Forward Global Warming? Open
Ships brighten low marine clouds from emissions of sulfur and aerosols, resulting in visible “ship tracks”. In 2020, new shipping regulations mandated an ∼80% reduction in the allowed fuel sulfur content. Recent observations indicate that …

Comparing the simulated influence of biomass burning plumes on low-level clouds over the southeastern Atlantic under varying smoke conditions Open
Biomass burning plumes are frequently transported over the southeast Atlantic (SEA) stratocumulus deck during the southern African fire season (June–October). The plumes bring large amounts of absorbing aerosols and enhanced moisture, whic…

Physical science research needed to evaluate the viability and risks of marine cloud brightening Open
Marine cloud brightening (MCB) is the deliberate injection of aerosol particles into shallow marine clouds to increase their reflection of solar radiation and reduce the amount of energy absorbed by the climate system. From the physical sc…

Research criteria towards an interdisciplinary Stratospheric Aerosol Intervention assessment Open
With surface temperatures already reaching unprecedented highs, resulting in significant adverse consequences for societies and ecosystems, there are increasing calls to expand research into climate interventions, including Stratospheric A…

“Cooling credits” are not a viable climate solution Open
As the world struggles to limit warming to 1.5 or 2 °C below pre-industrial temperatures, research into solar climate interventions that could temporarily offset some amount of greenhouse gas-driven global warming by reflecting more sunlig…
