Sulfur Dioxide: A Negative Biosignature for Exoplanet Habitability
Scientists propose using the detection of sulfur dioxide in exoplanet atmospheres as a negative marker for liquid water and life, streamlining the search for habitable planets, particularly around M-dwarf stars; this method helps define the inner edge of habitable zones by focusing on the absence of...

HSV-1 Infection Linked to Increased Alzheimer's Risk, Antivirals Show Potential Protective Effect
A study of 344,628 individuals over 50, diagnosed with Alzheimer's between 2006 and 2021, revealed an 80% increased Alzheimer's risk for those with HSV-1, but antiviral use reduced this risk by 17%.
