An investigation, linking particularly well to SDGs 10 and 5 focusing on equality, which shows how researchers can actively engage with equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in their work, and how EDI considerations must remain an ongoing effort. The authors, working in the field of responsible research and innovation (RRI), intentionally employed EDI in their project recruitment, and reflect here on the adjustments they made as a result. The recruitment of persons with disabilities led to some particularly interesting and new insights in this study looking at trustworthiness in the design of autonomous systems with evolving functionality.
A promising gene therapy called anti-tau ASO shows potential in lowering harmful tau protein linked to Alzheimer's disease.
An Article on readmission to depressive symptoms among people who are refugees, in the context of SDGs 3 and 10, focusing specifically on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of care practices for this population in Germany.

Awareness of a history of abuse may help in the management of obesity and diabetes in women.

Different lines of research have argued that specific groups, such as boys or ethnic minorities, are more prone to develop an anti-school culture than others, leading to group differences in the socia
This study shows that TB progression risk is higher in native Peruvians, and the conclusions support including more diverse populations in genomic studies to provide better targeted healthcare in indigenous populations.
