Does calcification of intracranial carotid arteries accelerate brain aging? A new study reveals that the buildup of calcium in the carotid arteries located inside the skull may play a key role in reducing the volume of certain brain regions. This calcification, observable from adulthood and increasing with age, is already known to increase the risks… Continue reading Does calcification of intracranial carotid arteries accelerate brain aging?

Does Wastewater Reveal Our Exposure to Perfluorinated Substances?
Does Wastewater Reveal Our Exposure to Perfluorinated Substances? A new method now makes it possible to detect and accurately measure a wide range of perfluorinated substances in wastewater. These compounds, often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their extreme persistence in the environment, accumulate in living organisms and resist natural degradation. They are found… Continue reading Does Wastewater Reveal Our Exposure to Perfluorinated Substances?
Can artificial intelligence improve breast cancer screening without overburdening radiologists?
Can artificial intelligence improve breast cancer screening without overburdening radiologists? Breast cancer screening relies on the examination of mammograms by two healthcare professionals. While this method is effective, it faces a growing shortage of radiologists, particularly in the UK where nearly 40% of positions could be unfilled by 2028. A recent study explored the use… Continue reading Can artificial intelligence improve breast cancer screening without overburdening radiologists?
Does sewage sludge spread microplastics in our agricultural soils and on our plates?
Does sewage sludge spread microplastics in our agricultural soils and on our plates? Every year, millions of tons of sludge from wastewater treatment plants are spread on fields as fertilizer. However, this sludge also carries microplastics—tiny fragments invisible to the naked eye that accumulate in soils and threaten crop quality and food safety. Microplastics originate… Continue reading Does sewage sludge spread microplastics in our agricultural soils and on our plates?
Can 3D Printing of Human Tissues Replace Animal Testing in Medical Research?
Can 3D Printing of Human Tissues Replace Animal Testing in Medical Research? Medical research is undergoing a revolution. For decades, animal testing has been the standard for assessing the efficacy and safety of new drugs. Yet, over 90% of promising molecules in the lab fail during human clinical trials, often due to unexpected toxic effects… Continue reading Can 3D Printing of Human Tissues Replace Animal Testing in Medical Research?
