Study links lysosomal ion channel TMEM175 to protection against over-acidification, with implications for Parkinson’s research

Researchers at LMU Munich, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, TU Darmstadt and Nanion Technologies report that the lysosomal ion channel TMEM175 helps prevent excessive acidification inside lysosomes, a malfunction that the team says could contribute to toxic buildup associated with Parkinson’s disease. The findings were reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Researchers have found that vivid, immersive dreams can make sleep feel deeper and more restorative, even during periods of high brain activity. A study analyzing brain recordings from 44 healthy adults showed that participants reported their deepest sleep after intense dream experiences. The findings challenge traditional views of deep sleep as minimal brain activity.

Young actress Adhisty Zara has announced her withdrawal from the sinetron series Beri Cinta Waktu, where she played Adila. The decision stems from her declining health condition recently. The announcement was made via Instagram Story on March 27, 2026.

Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found ethanol in the nectar of most plant species examined, meaning pollinators like bees and hummingbirds consume alcohol daily. An Anna's hummingbird drinks an amount equivalent to one human alcoholic beverage per day, yet shows no intoxication. The findings, published March 25 in Royal Society Open Science, suggest evolutionary tolerance to low-level ethanol.

A multi-state stakeholder consultation in Ahmedabad on Wednesday discussed recommendations from the Lancet Commission report on a citizen-centred health system. Participants highlighted uneven quality of care, fragmented delivery and gaps in mental health services in India's health system.

Fathers in Sweden were less likely to receive new psychiatric diagnoses during their partner’s pregnancy and in the first months after birth, but diagnoses of depression and stress-related disorders rose by more than 30% toward the end of the child’s first year, according to a large national register study published in JAMA Network Open.

Scientists at the Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society and international collaborators say they have reconstructed a real-time “movie” of atoms moving for up to a picosecond before an electron-transfer-mediated decay (ETMD) event, showing that nuclear motion and geometry can strongly influence when the decay occurs and what it produces.
