Therapeutic solutions available for neurological disorders are limited.  A new review highlights the emerging role of regulatory B cells in immune regulation, focusing on their potential neuroprotective roles and therapeutic implications in these disorders. The review suggests that interleukin 10 secreted by the B cells play an important role in suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. Regulatory B cells can become promising therapeutic targets for future neuroprotective strategies.

New research from the Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) research group and Flinders University in South Australia has revealed only a very small proportion of all the elder abuse cases estimated to be being perpetrated are being officially recorded during hospital visits, exposing a potential reporting gap in the nation’s health system.

The study, recently published in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) and led by Associate Professor Stephanie Harrison and ROSA’s Consumer and Community Advisory Committee, analysed data from nearly one million older Australians who accessed aged care services between 2010 and 2019. 

With over a fifth of the global population, the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) represents a massive piece of the international climate puzzle. Figuring out how these eight nations can expand their economies without severely degrading the atmosphere is an urgent, complex challenge. Now, an in-depth econometric analysis provides a concrete, data-backed roadmap for balancing regional wealth with environmental health.

Authored by corresponding researcher Imran Khan, who bridges the Department of Economics at The University of Haripur in Pakistan and the School of Economics and Management at China University of Mining and Technology in China, this paper replaces theoretical climate goals with hard numbers. By deploying advanced statistical tools—specifically Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) models and cointegration tests—the research tracks the exact push-and-pull between national wealth generation and carbon dioxide outputs across the region.

The investigation highlights a stubborn economic paradox. As South Asian countries globalize and build up their industrial sectors, their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) reliably climbs. However, this financial growth historically demands a steep atmospheric toll.

Current World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines typically recommend 2–7 days of abstinence before taking semen samples or assisted reproduction. However, a new study led by Oxford University researchers suggests that regular ejaculation – whether through sexual activity or masturbation – results in higher quality sperm, with less DNA damage. 

Packaged foods offer convenience for families and individuals, but they can be a major source of saturated fat, sodium and added sugars, which when consumed in excess contribute to chronic disease. To help people build healthier diets, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration proposed a new front-of-package nutrition label in January 2025 that would inform consumers about the presence of these nutrients.

While the FDA works to finalize the label, a research team led by the University of California, Davis, suggested a design that highlights products that are high in added sugar, sodium or saturated fat. They suggest in a new study an easy-to-understand label that make the healthfulness of foods more apparent.
