Sucralose and Stevia Gut Microbiome Changes Detected Across Two Mouse Generations
A mouse study published in Frontiers in Nutrition suggests that the sucralose and stevia gut microbiome relationship is more complicated than the ‘zero-calorie, therefore harmless’ assumption implies: both sweeteners altered gut bacteria, reduced beneficial metabolites, and changed the activity of genes tied to metabolism and inflammation, with some of those changes appearing in offspring that never consumed the sweeteners at…

Alcohol-related liver disease RNA splicing errors may block recovery even after abstinence
A new study published in Nature Communications proposes that alcohol-related liver disease RNA splicing errors trap damaged liver cells in a non-functional middle state, preventing regeneration even after a patient stops drinking, and identifies an inflammatory pathway that, when blocked in laboratory conditions, partially reversed the problem. What the researchers claim, and on what basis The study comes from a…

Paranthropus boisei footprints in Kenya upend estimates of body size and group life
Paranthropus boisei footprints in Kenya, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are challenging long-held assumptions about how large and socially complex this extinct human relative could be, with eight individuals apparently travelling together near an ancient lakeshore 1.4 million years ago. The tracks, preserved in ancient lakeshore sediments in northern Kenya, appear to record all eight…

Keto diet liver fat trial shows 67% reduction, beating Mediterranean and low-fat diets
A keto diet liver fat trial published in the Cell Press journal Cell Metabolism on 27 August reports that a ketogenic diet reduced liver fat by an average of 67% in participants with obesity, prediabetes, and fatty liver disease, compared with 45% in both Mediterranean and low-fat groups, despite all three groups losing roughly the same amount of body weight.…

Pilbara natural hydrogen research: ECU finds magnetite may generate clean fuel underground
Pilbara natural hydrogen research from Edith Cowan University suggests that Western Australia’s iron-rich rock formations can generate hydrogen gas naturally, and that the process may be deliberately stimulated to produce larger quantities. The claim is striking. Whether it can survive the journey from laboratory to commercial reality is a question the researchers themselves are careful not to answer yet. What…

Prosthe6 eye drops vision study restores light response in blind mice
A consortium of researchers led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) has developed a class of photoswitchable small-molecule compounds, called prosthe6, and found that prosthe6 eye drops vision restoration was achievable in animal models of blindness without gene therapy, implants, or specialised lighting. The findings appear in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS). The claim is…

Mycotoxins in plant-based foods found across all 212 UK products tested
Every one of 212 plant-based meat alternatives and beverages surveyed from UK stores contained mycotoxins in plant-based foods, a new study has found, though all measured concentrations fell below recommended EU guideline levels. The research, led by the University of Parma and co-authored by Cranfield University, raises questions about cumulative dietary exposure rather than risk from any single product. The…

GRCop-42 3D printing AI cuts laser power to record 500 watts in 40 tries
GRCop-42 3D printing AI developed at Washington State University has, the university says, identified six workable printing configurations for a copper-based NASA alloy out of more than 100 million possible settings, doing so in just 40 physical experiments and reaching a record-low laser power of 500 watts. The claim, if it holds up, would matter: ninety per cent of commercial…
