Summary: A common sugar substitute, erythritol, widely used in “sugar-free” and low-carb products, may increase stroke risk by damaging brain blood vessel cells. A new study found that erythritol exposure reduced nitric oxide, increased vessel constrictors, impaired clot-busting abilities, and boosted free radical production in these cells. These changes create a higher risk environment for clotting and reduced blood flow …

GM’s Final EV Battery Strategy Copies China’s Playbook: Super Cheap Cells
General Motors has just announced its latest and likely final piece in what now appears to be a three-pronged cell-chemistry strategy to power GM’s lineup of a dozen EVs through the end of the decade and beyond. GM has stated today it will build low-cost lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells in Spring Hill, Tennessee, starting in late 2027. Conversion …

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our health has just been added to the anatomy books. The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It’s …

Researchers have developed a new laboratory model grown from stem cells that replicates the human amniotic sac in the first two to four weeks after fertilization. The structure, which the researchers say is the most advanced and mature amniotic model ever created, could offer new insight into human development and lead to cell products for medical procedures, from burn treatments …
