A study by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Granada has revealed that exposure to violence against women throughout life has lasting effects that extend into middle age. The research, published in Maturitas, shows that women who have experienced v

A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with the inner workings of brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Zhang and Zhang's new paper in the journal Open Medicine, "6PPD‑Quinone Exposu

Researchers studying the impact of cocaine in mice have found that just one exposure to the drug can create changes in brain cells that persist for at least two weeks. Their findings were presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026.

New research presented at the 42nd Annual Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) suggests that exposure to air pollution may affect genes associated with sperm development, raising new questions about male fertility, pregnancy outcomes and of

Research from the University of Granada published in the European Journal of Pediatrics has revealed that girls with higher levels of bisphenol A (a component of plastics and epoxy-phenolic resins) and benzophenones (ultraviolet filters) in their urine are more likely to experien

Following dietary guidelines during pregnancy may reduce exposure to many—but not all—environmental chemicals from food and everyday products, according to a new study of nearly 1,500 pregnant participants. The study, "Dietary guidelines adherence and pregnancy exposure to 10 cla

A new systematic review has found that both the way a baby is born and exposure to antibiotics around the time of birth could be linked to differences in the development of the infant gut microbiome. The review also found that exclusively breastfeeding babies born by cesarean sec

Researchers from the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Heidelberg University Hospital and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have published new findings that improve understanding of secondary neutron exposure during pediatric ion beam therapy, an important area of study

Exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy and early infancy is associated with slower growth of the thalamus later in childhood, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a center supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation. The findings, p

Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive cancer, usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Inhaled asbestos fibers become lodged in the lungs, causing inflammation that can lead to tumor formation decades later. Worldwide, about 30,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.
