A sweetener that is often advertised as a healthier replacement for sugar is drawing new attention from scientists. New research presented at the 2025 American Physiology Summit in Baltimore suggests that erythritol, a common sugar substitute found in many sugar-free foods and drinks, may have unwanted effects on the body. The findings suggest that it […]

Leishmania parasites appear to evolve through widespread genetic exchange, reshaping assumptions about how they adapt and spread. A parasite long thought to spread mostly by cloning itself may be far more genetically dynamic than scientists once believed. A new international study suggests that Leishmania—a group of microscopic parasites responsible for debilitating tropical diseases—regularly swaps genetic [...]
