A study links a plant-based food additive to increased insulin resistance
A recent study published in BMC Medicine highlights potential health risks associated with carrageenan, a common food additive derived from red algae. The study found that overweight individuals consuming carrageenan exhibited increased insulin resistance and inflammation. Stephanie Schiff, a dietitian at Northwell Health, advises avoiding highly processed foods containing carrageenan and suggests alternatives like gellan, carob, guar, and xanthan gums. The study calls for further research on the long-term effects of carrageenan and similar additives, especially in populations at risk for type 2 diabetes.

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Extracellular Vesicles Are a Promising Alternative to Antibiotics for Treating Sepsis
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their extracellular vesicles are emerging as a promising alternative to antibiotics for treating sepsis, a life-threatening condition exacerbated by antibiotic resistance. MSCs offer immunomodulatory and antibacterial properties, potentially addressing the excessive immune response and bacterial resistance challenges in sepsis treatment. The article explores the mechanisms of MSCs, their safety profile, and technological advancements enhancing their efficacy. While MSCs show potential in reducing inflammation and supporting organ function, further research is needed to fully understand their role and optimize their use in clinical settings.

After Sinwar? A Palestinian Critique Of The Militarization Of Resistance
The article critiques the militarization of resistance in the Israel-Palestine conflict, focusing on the roles of Hamas and Hezbollah. It argues that the shift towards armed resistance, supported by Iran, has led to a strategic disadvantage for Palestinians, making them vulnerable to Israeli military actions. The deaths of key figures like Yahya Sinwar, Ismail Haniyyah, and Hassan Nasrallah are seen as victories for Israel but do not signal an end to the conflict. The piece highlights the lack of a sustainable military strategy among resistance leaders and the resulting impact on Palestinian society.

Legacy Not Only For South Africa But For The World: 120 Years Of Gandhi’s Phoenix
The Phoenix Settlement, founded by Mahatma Gandhi in 1904 in South Africa, was a pioneering community embodying his principles of non-violence, truth, and self-reliance. It played a crucial role in shaping Gandhi's philosophy of Satyagraha, which later influenced India's independence movement and global justice efforts. Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie's book, 'Gandhi’s African Legacy: Phoenix Settlement 1904 to 2024,' explores the settlement's history through family letters, highlighting its struggles and contributions. Despite damage during the 1985 Inanda Riots, the settlement has been restored and continues to serve as a hub for education and activism. The 120th-anniversary celebration underscores Gandhi's enduring legacy and its relevance to contemporary challenges like climate change and social inequality.

Fluid flow overcomes antimicrobial resistance by boosting delivery
Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant global threat, necessitating new strategies beyond chemical optimization. Research using biophysical simulations and microfluidic experiments reveals that increasing fluid flow can enhance the delivery of antimicrobials, overcoming resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The study demonstrates that higher flow rates prevent resistant bacteria from neutralizing antimicrobials, restoring their effectiveness. This finding suggests that incorporating fluid dynamics into antimicrobial development could be a promising approach to combat resistance.

Covas do Barroso: Local Resistance to Europe’s Lithium Race
In Covas do Barroso, a rural village in northern Portugal, local residents and activists are resisting plans by British company Savannah Resources to develop a lithium mine. The project, which has received preliminary approval from the Portuguese Environment Agency, is part of the EU's strategy to meet its critical raw materials demand domestically. However, locals argue that the mine threatens their livelihoods, the environment, and the region's designation as a FAO World Agricultural Heritage site. The controversy has broader implications, including a corruption investigation that led to Prime Minister António Costa's resignation. The resistance is organized by Unidos em Defesa de Covas do Barroso, with support from various sectors of society, emphasizing the need for a just and sustainable green transition.

Akkermansia muciniphila Metabolite Inosine Inhibits Castration Resistance in Prostate Cancer
The study investigates the role of the gut microbiota, particularly Akkermansia muciniphila, in influencing castration resistance in prostate cancer. It reveals that the metabolite inosine, produced by Akkermansia muciniphila, can inhibit castration resistance by reducing intestinal barrier damage and lowering serum lipopolysaccharide levels. The research highlights the potential of using gut microbiota composition as a therapeutic target and prognostic indicator for castration-resistant prostate cancer. A predictive model for CRPC progression, incorporating gut microbiota and clinical data, is also developed, demonstrating good predictive performance.
