Older adults in India have almost 12% higher risk of depression when their adult children are unemployed. A new study from Umeå University shows that unemployment among younger generations increases the risk of poor mental health among parents, particularly in a society where many older adults are both economically and socially dependent on their children.

A systematic analysis published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts establishes functionalized microalgae as emerging composite bioproducts with transformative potential across diagnostics, therapy, and theranostics. The review categorizes physical, chemical, biotechnological, and hybrid functionalization approaches while critically addressing immunogenicity, long-term biosafety, and clinical translation challenges essential for advancing these sustainable biomaterials from laboratory innovation to patient care.

This review provides a first-of-its-kind, full-spectrum analysis of postoperative rebleeding following MIS for ICH. Covering definition, mechanisms, risk factors, and prevention strategies, it not only offers a clear decision map for clinicians but also outlines a visionary blueprint for future technological integration.

Lifestyle-behavioural factors and socioeconomic status play an important role in shaping healthy ageing, but their effects may differ depending on your DNA, according to a new international study led by Adelaide University researchers.
