We are pleased to share our latest work, published in Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, which presents a novel multilevel framework for nociplastic pain. Nociplastic pain, which arises from altered pain processing rather than clear tissue or nerve damage, remains one of the most challenging forms of chronic pain to understand and treat. This work is […]

Climate change accelerates the breakdown of plastics, increasing our exposure to microplastic-derived compounds, including bisphenols and phthalates, that act as xenoestrogens capable of disrupting hormonal and immune regulation. Separately, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), which infects over 95% of adults worldwide and persists silently in immune cells, has been increasingly implicated in the development of both Alzheimer’s […]
