Are airborne microplastics damaging your lungs? New study probes potential risks

Researchers review the presence and impact of airborne microplastics (AMPs) on human respiratory health in a new study published in the Science of the Total Environment. The study underscores the urgent need for more data on the toxicity of AMPs, which are prevalent in indoor environments and could pose serious health risks, especially to vulnerable populations like children and older adults.

Can brown fat really keep you slim? New study digs into the science of diet-induced thermogenesis

The research paper delves into the role of brown adipose tissue and its protein, UCP1, in diet-induced thermogenesis, questioning whether it could be a key to fighting obesity. Despite some evidence suggesting that brown fat activity could influence weight, the study calls for more research to determine the causality between reduced brown adipose tissue activity and obesity.
