A study by the Politecnico di Milano published on Nature Food reveals the impact of the Chinese demand for animal proteins on South American water, forests and soil.

The public are invited to share their most vibrant memories as researchers seek ways to help us recall experiences more vividly

Four research teams from the fields of Materials Science, Education, Communication and Psychology at the Universitat Jaume I are taking part in four of the eight joint research actions launched under the EDUC-WIDE project, aimed at strengthening cooperation among the universities of the EDUC alliance and with their local research ecosystems.

The public university of Castelló is thus opening new opportunities for internationalization for its research groups in areas such as communication inequality, behavioural and psychophysiological research, inclusion, and materials science, strategic fields of the "Empowering EDUC for Inclusive Development of the ERA (EDUC-WIDE)" initiative, which has offered a major opportunity to expand international collaboration.

Researchers led by Professor Yvonne Nolan at University College Cork discovered that voluntary wheel running exercise counteracts depression-like behaviors induced by a cafeteria diet in adult male rats. The peer-reviewed study reveals exercise normalized elevated insulin and leptin levels while preserving key gut metabolites depleted by junk food consumption. These findings illuminate potential metabolic mechanisms linking lifestyle factors to mental health, offering insights for developing targeted interventions addressing mood disorders.
