Study Links Psychiatric Drugs to Increased Motor Neurone Disease Risk
A Scandinavian study of 1,057 MND patients found that antidepressants, anxiolytics, sleeping pills, and sedatives increased the risk of developing MND by 21-34%, potentially impacting 8.6 million UK antidepressant users; however, some scientists suggest this link may be due to mental health patients...

Maternal Iron Deficiency Causes Sex Reversal in Male Mice
A study published in Nature demonstrates that severely low maternal iron levels can cause sex reversal in male mice, challenging the long-held belief that mammalian sex determination is solely genetic.

Daily Sugary Treats Linked to Late-Stage Colon Cancer in Young Adults
A new study of 303 colon cancer patients under 50 found a link between daily consumption of sugary drinks or candy and late-stage (metastatic) disease; nearly half of stage four patients reported daily consumption of such treats, compared to 29% of those with less advanced stages.

US Measles Cases Surge in 2025, Wastewater Surveillance Offers Early Detection
A surge in US measles cases in 2025 (1,157), largely due to a West Texas outbreak (742 cases), is being tracked by a new wastewater monitoring program, WastewaterSCAN, deployed across 40 states. Low childhood vaccination rates are a significant contributing factor, and the number of cases reported i...

Herpes Virus Infection Linked to Increased Alzheimer's Risk
Studies reveal a correlation between herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) infection and increased Alzheimer's risk, potentially modifiable through antiviral medication and shingles vaccination; however, causality remains unproven, and other risk factors such as genetics and lifestyle significantly contribut...

Low Iron Levels in Pregnant Mice Cause Sex Reversal in Male Offspring
Japanese researchers discovered that severely low iron levels in pregnant mice (60% reduction) caused sex reversal in some XY male offspring, developing female sex organs. This challenges the understanding of mammalian sex determination as solely genetic.

DKIST Captures Sharpest Sun Images, Unveiling Magnetic Structures
The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) in Hawaii captured the sharpest images of the sun's surface, revealing 20-kilometer-wide magnetic "stripes" and "curtains" caused by magnetic fluctuations; this helps understand solar flares, eruptions, and coronal mass ejections impacting Earth.
