The solvents used during the production of heparin cause air and water pollution. One of the steps to achieve sustainable kidney care is to find a green alternative to heparin.
This paper conducts a scoping review of research on the involvement of the glymphatic system in Alzheimer's disease-related sleep disturbances, finding that sleep disturbances impact protein aggregation and toxicity, glymphatic sequelae in sleep-disordered breathing, circadian dysregulation, and potential interventions, thus providing insight into the role of sleep disturbances in AD pathogenesis through glymphatic disruption.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is responsible for 10% of cases of hepatitis in adults, and 13–17% of cases of fulminant hepatitis. The article proposes a way forward and roadmap to prioritize DILI research and clinical science.
The United Nations urges governments to promote sustainable, healthy diets to combat undernutrition, obesity, and climate change. This paper examines policy insights from high-income countries (HICs) and their applicability to low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Alternative proteins (AP) should be affordable, locally sustainable, and culturally acceptable. Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) should guide AP product development, ensuring they complement traditional proteins. Harmonizing multisectoral policies is crucial for LMICs to achieve a protein transition and food systems transformation by 2050.
