New research from Monash University, the University of São Paulo and Deakin University shows a diet high in heavily processed foods can negatively impact the brain’s ability to focus and increases the risk of developing dementia. The study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: Diagnosis, Assessment & Disease Monitoring, a journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, examined the diets and cognitive health of more than 2,100 Australian dementia-free adults [...]

Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many populations have historically been underrepresented on the human genomic map. This is the case of Native American populations, whose history of adaptation and genetic diversity remains largely unknown. For the first time, an international study led by the Institute of Evolutionary Biology ( IBE ), a joint center of the Spanish National Research Council [...]

A major international study involving researchers from The University of Manchester has found that rising global demand for beef is a key force behind deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The research shows how consumer demand in countries around the world is directly linked to land clearing in Brazil, often through complex supply chains that are difficult to regulate. By combining economic and environmental analysis, the study reveals why current efforts to curb deforestation are [...]

Researchers in Brazil have found that moringa seeds can remove over 98% of harmful PVC microplastics from water, performing as well as or better than aluminium sulfate in some conditions. The plant-based method offers a biodegradable, low-cost alternative to chemical treatments, with potential benefits for small communities and regions lacking advanced facilities. The findings build on moringa’s historical use in water purification and could help address growing concerns over microplastic [...]

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Maintaining connections between natural habitats may support beneficial microbes that help wildlife defend against disease. In a new study of tropical amphibians, a team led by Penn State biologists found that amphibians in connected natural forests and aquatic habitats were more likely to host beneficial skin microbes that inhibit a deadly fungal pathogen. But when these habitats become spatially separated due to planted crops, infrastructure development or other human [...]

In a recent study, seeds from the ‘miracle’ moringa tree were found to match or outperform their chemical counterpart in filtering out aged PVC microplastics – one of the most harmful plastic types for human health. The findings could pave the way for a greener alternative for treatment plants. Tiny plastic particles released from car tyres, paint, textiles and degraded plastic packaging have been building up in global water systems for decades, creating a silent but growing health [...]
