October 2009 in “The FASEB Journal” This article reviews the historical and scientific perspectives on the phenomenon of stress-induced changes in hair color and reports no evidence supporting the idea that holding or resigning from political office accelerates human aging or hair graying.
May 2026 in “Nature Environment and Pollution Technology” This study found that both acute and chronic exposure to nano polystyrene in laboratory rats disrupted hematological function, increased oxidative stress, and led to behavioral and physiological changes, like anemia-like effects and neurological disruptions, suggesting its potential as a cumulative toxicant.
March 2020 in “The Egyptian Journal of Histology” This study found that topical olive oil may protect mice skin from damage caused by electromagnetic radiation, particularly when applied before exposure, by mitigating oxidative, inflammatory, and heat shock stress factors.
