Graphical abstract illustrating the proposed mechanism by which prenatal OLA exposure disrupts placental vascular development, leading to intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in mice. Specifically, OLA released from orally ingested polylactic acid plastics during pregnancy interferes with GATA2-regulated VEGF signaling, thereby impairing placental vascular development. The mechanistic scheme was created using Figdraw.

3D-printed tennis balls aim to match performance of traditional balls Central Saint Martins graduate Noé Chouraqui has developed a 3D-printed alternative to standard-issue tennis balls made from a bio-based, recyclable filament.

Is there a more #Sustainable alternative to conventional tennis balls? According to Chouraqui, a design graduate, a #Compostable, #3DPrinted version can be made. #Patents on tennis balls include Dunlop's GB714481. bit.ly/4mZ9MAI #Invention #Innovation #Recycling #CarbonFootprint #PolylacticAcid
