A large group of these genes guides blood-pressure control, limits inflammation and manages sugar use.These processes support long-term cardiovascular health.Scientists argue that a routine glass of orange juice influences the body far more than many people expect.A recent investigation reported that steady orange-juice intake alters the activity of thousands of genes in immune cells.Many of these genes regulate blood pressure, curb inflammation and oversee sugar handling, which all protect cardiovascular function.David C. Gaze, a chemical-pathology lecturer at the University of Westminster, described these shifts in The Conversation and highlighted research that illustrates them.

Mikel Arteta says Arsenal’s improved squad depth will help them cope after confirming Kai Havertz will be out for a few more weeks. The Germany forward, sidelined since August following knee surgery, suffered a setback when he tried to increase the intensity of his rehabilitation.

Gabriel Jesus is also nearing a comeback after 11 months out. William Saliba and Leandro Trossard remain fitness doubts, meaning summer signings Cristhian Mosquera…

The rare Marsh Fritillary butterfly has had a strong year in Northern Ireland, thanks to warm weather and long-term conservation work. Once common across the UK and Ireland, the species declined sharply as farming practices changed and its key food plant, Devil’s-bit Scabious, became scarce. Butterfly Conservation has spent years helping farmers manage grassland to support the butterfly, and recent surveys show major improvements. One monitored site saw caterpillar nests rise from 24 to 53, another from 24 to 139, and a third from five to 27. Conservation manager Rose Cremin said weather can help in the short term, but…
A UK health advisory panel has recommended against offering prostate cancer screening to most men, saying the harms outweigh the benefits. The UK National Screening Committee (UKNSC) concluded that widespread PSA testing would lead to high levels of overdiagnosis, detecting many slow-growing cancers that would never cause harm but could result in unnecessary treatment and serious side-effects. Instead, the committee advised a targeted screening programme only for men with confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene variants, who are at higher risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer. These men could be screened every two years between ages 45 and 61. Despite prostate…

US trade policy is showing signs of stability amid global uncertainty, benefiting both producers and consumers. The administration has exempted key food- and farm-related products from broad tariffs and reaffirmed commitments under the United States‑Mexico‑Canada Agreement (USMCA). Officials said these measures help maintain smooth supply chains and prevent sudden price increases. By targeting essential agricultural goods, the government aims to ensure that farmers can sell their products effectively while consumers enjoy more predictable prices. The tariff exemptions cover more than 200 products, including coffee, tea, fruit, beef, and juices. Industry experts said this approach reduces pressure on domestic supply chains,…
