Should the non‐canonical pathway of nitric oxide generation be targeted in hypertensive pregnancies?

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 57-69, January 2026.
Abstract Hypertension in pregnancy is prevalent, affecting around 10% of pregnancies worldwide, and significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes for both mothers and their babies. Current treatment strategies for pregnant women with hypertension are limited, and new approaches for the management of hypertension in pregnancy are urgently needed.

Assessing the Genotoxic Effects of Emerging Organic Contaminants in Water Systems: Current Trends and Future Directions

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Emerging organic contaminants (EOCs) represent a growing concern for global water security due to their persistence, bioactivity, and potential to induce genotoxic effects in aquatic organisms and humans. This review critically examines the current state of genotoxicity assessment for EOCs by integrating established testing frameworks with advanced ...

Sensory Preference of Drinking Water Influenced by Subthreshold‐Level Mineral Salt Mixtures

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.
A distinct preference plateau was identified, with liking maximized near the salts' absolute thresholds. Sweetness promotion and astringency suppression were the primary sensory mechanisms driving preference in these mineral salt mixtures. A predictive model pinpointed the optimal blend (0.92 mg/L KCl; 0.60 mg/L MgSO4), providing a practical, data ...
