Sucralose disrupts male fertility by damaging sperm and altering hormones in animal study

Researchers found that chronic sucralose exposure in male rats disrupted reproductive hormones, damaged sperm, and impaired testicular function through oxidative stress and autophagy dysregulation. These findings raise concerns about the reproductive risks of high sucralose intake and its persistent presence in the environment.

Ground-breaking discovery reveals common master switch for brain-related diseases

The 21st edition of Sustainability Through Science and Technology Summit 2025 (SIPS 2025), dedicated to Prof. Aaron Ciechanover, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, to be held in Cebu, Philippines, from 17-20 November 2025, has confirmed the participation of Davis Joseph as an invited summit plenary lecturer for his recent ground-breaking discovery of the common master switch for numerous brain-related diseases.

Higher McCance Brain Care Score linked to lower stroke risk in women

Women with a higher McCance Brain Care Score (BCS) – a score that measures physical, lifestyle, and social-emotional factors – have a lower risk of experiencing a stroke or other cerebrovascular event reducing blood flow to the brain, according to a new study conducted by experts from Mass General Brigham.

Study explores how the brain integrates auditory and visual memories

When a person remembers their friend telling them a funny story, they associate the sound of that friend talking with the appearance of that friend speaking and laughing. How does the human brain form audiovisual memories like this?

Inhaled microplastics suppress pulmonary macrophages critical to the immune system

Microplastics are ubiquitous in the environment, and we all routinely inhale these tiny pollutants. Now new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference has found that inhaled microplastics suppress pulmonary macrophages, a type of white blood cell found in the lungs that are critical to the immune system.

Scientists discover how EBV-infected immune cells migrate and invade the brain

Many people are infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and most are unaware of it. However, EBV can sometimes cause cancer, and this pathogen also appears to play an important role in multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases.

Study reveals how PAX3 protein drives melanoma growth

PAX3 is a transcription factor (proteins involved in converting DNA into RNA) that drives melanoma progression by promoting cell growth, migration and survival, while inhibiting cellular terminal differentiation, which is the final stage where a cell becomes specialized and cell division ends.

New machine learning model shows promise in predicting postpartum depression risk

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 15 percent of individuals after childbirth. Early identification of patients at risk of PPD could improve proactive mental health support.

MPXV virus lingers on hospital surfaces after patient stays

Researchers in the UK found that patients with clade Ib mpox can contaminate their hospital environments with monkeypox virus, including infectious particles. However, the risk of environmental transmission remains unclear and depends on cleaning practices and disease severity.

New evidence ties ADHD traits to lower activity and higher smoking rates

Young adults with higher ADHD symptoms are more likely to avoid physical effort, smoke, and lead sedentary lifestyles. The study highlights the complex links between ADHD, motivation, and health-related behaviours.

Red blood cells drive blood vessel damage in diabetes by exporting toxic vesicles

Red blood cell-derived extracellular vesicles in type 2 diabetes are actively taken up by the endothelium, transferring the enzyme arginase-1 and triggering oxidative stress. This mechanism helps explain vascular complications in diabetes and offers new targets for therapeutic intervention.

Study reveals high rates of cannabis use disorder in older US veterans

A large national study of U.S. veterans aged 65–84 found that 10.3% reported cannabis use in the past 30 days, with over one-third of these meeting criteria for cannabis use disorder. Frequent use and inhaled forms of cannabis sharply increased the risk.
