Why measles remains one of the most contagious viral diseases worldwide

This review synthesizes current evidence on measles virus biology, immune responses, complications, treatments, and prevention strategies. It highlights how measles can suppress immune memory, increasing susceptibility to other infections, and underscores vaccination as the most effective control measure.

Study finds most sustainable diet indices overlook industrial food processing

A scoping review of 57 studies found that most tools used to assess sustainable diets focus on food production and consumption while largely ignoring food processing and other stages of the food system. The findings suggest that overlooking ultra-processed foods and processing impacts may lead to incomplete sustainability assessments and highlight the need for more comprehensive evaluation frameworks.

Nearly 70 weeks after infection, long COVID patients show no detectable inflammation in blood tests

A controlled Norwegian case-control study examined circulating biomarkers of inflammation and neuronal injury in people with long COVID about 69 weeks after infection. The researchers found no significant differences in systemic inflammatory or neuroinjury markers compared with recovered controls after statistical correction.
