This Review supports SDGs 2 and 3 by synthesising the evidence on the mechanisms that connect extreme climate events to food insecurity, including events such as drought, change in rainfall patterns, and change in sea levels.
This Viewpoint supports SDGs 3 and 6, focusing on the rapid spread of Aedes and Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes and the associated transmission of disease, particularly in urban environments
This Article supports SDG 3s and 6 by presenting global comprehensive estimates of deaths associated with 33 bacterial pathogens across 11 major infectious syndromes, many of which could be prevented by improved access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.
This Article supports SDGs 3 and 6 by showing that the integration of a health education package for for the promotion of correct hygiene and sanitation practices into the school curriculum is an affordable and scalable approach to respond to the burden of soil-transmitted helminth infection among schoolchildren in the Philippines.
This Commentary directly addresses the most pressing challenges of World Water Day by tackling the presistence of water-, sanitation- and hygiene-related diseases and what needs to be done to address these challenges.
In this Voices panel, 7 global experts discuss the challenges of wastewater management and what is needed to transition wastewater into useable water.

People who attempt suicide should be offered help, not punishment, supporting SDG 3, 10, 17.
The paper proposes that Alzheimer's disease may be the consequence of a maladaptation to an evolutionary-based survival pathway triggered by fructose metabolism, which initially helps preserve critical brain functioning during starvation but becomes injurious when engaged for extensive periods. Although more studies are needed on the role of fructose metabolism and its metabolite, uric acid, in Alzheimer’s disease, it is suggested that both dietary and pharmacologic trials to reduce fructose exposure or block fructose metabolism should be performed to determine whether there is potential benefit in the prevention, management, or treatment of this disease.
Our results suggested that the therapeutic effects of NFP on AD were associated with synaptic- and mitochondrial-related pathways, and they provided targets for further rigorous studies on precise understanding of the molecular mechanism of NFP.
