NTU Singapore researchers report that cells shuttle cholesterol into lysosomes to keep them acidic and intact while digesting damaged mitochondria. The suggested link to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's is still an inference from cell experiments.
Reality
NTU Singapore researchers cut bacterial growth about 53% in a model plant by clustering its immune receptors, with no reported cost to growth. The result is confined to a lab plant; each food crop would need its own receptors found and tested first.
Reality
A Singapore team's solar cell ran for more than 72 hours on seawater and pulled hydrazine down to 0.5 parts per billion. The buyer for a unit like that is a site already paying to destroy the stuff.

SMART's antimicrobial resistance group and collaborators report in Nature Chemical Biology that AvaS uses a vitamin B6 derivative to convert lysidine into aminovaleramide cytidine, the first PLP enzyme found working on tRNA.
Reality
An NTU Singapore study puts 76% of surveyed Indo-Pacific reef sites past their growth capacity under high emissions, with the critical rate likely crossed within 35 years.
