A study from São Paulo State University reveals that Moringa oleifera can effectively remove microplastics from water, outperforming aluminum sulfate in certain conditions, offering a sustainable treatment alternative.

An international study reveals environmental and social factors significantly influence brain aging, highlighting the need for comprehensive public health policies.

A Chalmers University team developed a new method to produce hydrogen gas using sunlight and conductive plastic, eliminating platinum. A research team led by Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have presented a new way to produce hydrogen gas without the scarce and expensive metal platinum. Using sunlight, water and tiny particles of electrically conductive plastic, the researchers show how the hydrogen can be produced efficiently, sustainably and at low cost. Hydrogen plays a key [...]

A Viewpoint published today in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Mayana Zatz and colleagues at the Human Genome and Stem Cell Research Center, University of São Paulo, examines why Brazil represents one of the most valuable yet underutilized resources for understanding extreme human longevity. The synthesis draws upon the team’s ongoing research with a nationwide cohort of long-lived individuals while contextualizing recent advances in supercentenarian biology. Where Genetic Diversity Meets [...]

A study reveals Amazon tree size has increased 3.2% per decade, indicating resilience despite climate change threats and deforestation concerns. Average tree size across the Amazon has increased by 3.2% every decade consistent with a response to rising carbon dioxide levels, a new study suggests.   The new research published today (25 Sep) in Nature Plants by a global team of tropical forest scientists shows that the average size of trees in Amazon forests has increased over recent [...]

Frequent exercise doesn’t just strengthen the heart – it also changes the nerves that control it, according to new research which could guide more targeted and effective care for common heart problems. The study, led by the University of Bristol (UK), shows for the first time that moderate aerobic training reshapes nerves that drive the heart, and affects them on each side of the heart differently. The research is published in the journal Autonomic Neuroscience today (Wednesday, [...]

The age at which a woman has her first period can offer valuable clues about her long-term risk for conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and reproductive health issues, according to a study being presented Sunday at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif. The Brazilian study found that both early and late menarche—the age when women first get their period—are linked to different health risks. Women who had their first period [...]

Brazil’s marine protected areas are contaminated by microplastics, highlighting the need for global measures to address this widespread pollution. Despite being considered sanctuaries for biodiversity, Brazil’s marine protected areas (MPAs) are not immune to microplastic contamination. A recent study has shown that even MPAs classified as integral protection areas (APIs), which are the most restrictive to human intervention, are contaminated by this material. The research, which [...]

MELD Graph is an AI tool that could drastically change the care for 30,000 patients in the UK and 4 million worldwide with one cause of epilepsy, researchers say. The study, published today in JAMA Neurology by a team at King’s College London and University College London (UCL), shows how the tool significantly improves the detection of focal cortical dysplasia’s (FCDs) which is a leading cause of epilepsy. Researchers say the tool will speed up diagnosis times, get patients [...]
