Graphene-based biosensing platforms for early detection of Alzheimer's disease: Advances, mechanisms, and future directions

Elsevier,

Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, Volume 13, October 2025

This article provides a comprehensive review of the use of graphene-based biosensing platforms for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. It is found that graphene-based biosensors can detect Alzheimer's disease biomarkers at femtomolar concentrations, enabling early diagnosis before symptom onset. These sensors can also identify multiple biomarkers simultaneously in accessible biofluids like blood, saliva, and urine, enabling less invasive testing.

Ferrous nutritional metal-organic framework as food fortificant

Elsevier,

Matter, Volume 8, 1 October 2025

With an estimated 2 billion people worldwide suffering from iron deficiency — a condition linked to anemia, impaired childhood brain development, and higher infant mortality — researchers are racing to find more effective nutritional interventions. MIT scientists have developed a promising solution: tiny crystalline particles known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can be used to fortify everyday foods and beverages, mixed into foods such as bread or sprinkled directly into drinks like coffee or tea.

Addressing Ethiopia's grand challenge of achieving food security while ensuring land-use sustainability

Elsevier,

Land Use Policy, Volume 157, October 2025

As one of the most food-insecure countries of the Global South, Ethiopia has experienced significant land-use changes driven by economic development and population growth. This study examined the dynamic land use transitions in Ethiopia during the period 2000–2020 including the socio-economic factors driving land-use transitions and grain demand. Although the sustained growth in international trade coupled with increased productivity has benefited the country's food supply, the food security situation in low-income countries, including Ethiopia, will remain critical in the context of population growth.

Neuropsychiatric and mental health outcomes in hyperemesis gravidarum: a retrospective cohort study

Elsevier,

The Lancet Obstetrics, Gynaecology, & Women's Health, Volume 1, Issue 2, October 2025, Pages e122-e131

This is the largest cohort study to date of women with hyperemesis gravidarum, and it is the first to explore a wide array of neuropsychiatric and mental health outcomes, including psychotic disorder. Evidence study suggests that while hyperemesis gravidarum increases the risk of poor mental health compared to unaffected pregnancies, the link between its severity and psychiatric burden is complex. The lower depression risk in cases with metabolic disturbance versus mild disease may reflect varying levels of healthcare support.

Diabetic hyperglycemia-induced glycation regulates tumor vasculature integrity via NF-κB-mediated GM-CSF secretion by tumor cells

Elsevier, Cell Biomaterials, Volume 1, 28 October 2025
Glycation is recognized for its ability to stiffen collagen matrices through non-enzymatic crosslinking. However, the biological effects of glycation in vivo, particularly in diabetic hyperglycemia remain less understood. Clinical observations suggest that diabetes contributes to pathogenic tumor vasculature, yet the underlying mechanisms are not clear.
