| | A review published in the British Journal of Nutrition examines how carotenoids and bioactive compounds in Brassicaceae microgreens may influence obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes through metabolic and inflammatory pathways. Small human trials involving broccoli sprouts have reported improvements in selected metabolic markers, but larger, longer-term studies are needed to establish their clinical benefits. | |

| | University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researcher-clinicians have uncovered why many pulmonary hypertension patients report symptoms of cognitive decline. | |
|
| | Mayo Clinic researchers are uncovering the earliest shifts in disease biology - long before symptoms appear - revealing how disease takes root and opening new possibilities to identify, predict and potentially prevent disease before symptoms develop. | |

| | A cross-sectional study of 615 adults in the Loma Linda Blue Zone area and surrounding communities found that vegetarian diets were more common among older adults and Seventh-day Adventists, with vegetarians also reporting significantly lower BMI than non-vegetarians. | |
|
| | Researchers fed breeding pairs of mice five diets with different fat and sugar contents to examine how parental nutrition affects offspring brain development. High-fat diets, alone or combined with high sugar, delayed early motor development and altered brain structure in young adult offspring, while the high-sugar-only diet produced no significant changes in individual brain regions after correction for multiple comparisons. | |
|
| | Researchers analysing 285,444 adults in Finland and the UK found that excess mortality associated with extreme heat and cold was more than tenfold higher among people with both pre-existing medical conditions and socioeconomic disadvantage than among those with neither or only one vulnerability. | |

| | Published in Reproduction and Fertility, the review examined five existing studies of women aged 41 to 65 to understand whether testosterone treatment improves thinking and memory in women during and after menopause. | |
|
| | Researchers at UC Santa Barbara, UC San Francisco and international collaborators are uncovering the cascade of molecular events that happen when women undergo menopause, a time of life marked by endocrine changes and symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog and sleep disturbances. | |
