The environmental exposome in heart failure risk and progression
By:
Omar Hahad
on
JAN
26
Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 26 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41569-026-01247-1The environmental exposome, which includes pollution, contamination, climate and social determinants of health, is intricately involved in the pathophysiology of heart failure. In this Review, Hahad and colleagues explore the complex relationship between environmental stressors and heart failure, advocating for their inclusion alongside traditional risk factors and highlighting the need for new strategies to address the effects of the exposome on public health.

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 22 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41569-026-01253-3In this Review, Ferrucci and colleagues propose that inflammation is a resilience mechanism that resolves molecular and cellular damage driven by environmental stressors. With ageing, however, this protective response can become dysregulated and maladaptive, promoting collateral changes central to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.

Nature Reviews Nephrology, Published online: 14 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41581-026-01048-2Climate change is increasing the risk of acute kidney injury owing to heat stress, infectious and vector-borne diseases, food and water insecurity, pollution and nephrotoxins. Outdoor workers and underserved communities are most affected. Proactive prevention strategies, pathogen-specific care and climate-resilient kidney services can avert avoidable injury, narrow inequities and save lives.

Nature Reviews Urology, Published online: 02 January 2026; doi:10.1038/s41585-025-01117-4This Review provides a comprehensive overview of epidemiology and molecular determinants of relapsed rhabdoid and other non-nephroblastoma childhood and adolescent kidney tumours, which are usually rare and challenging to cure. The most updated results in this field are discussed to highlight how understanding tumour biology can be used to inform therapeutic strategies in these patient populations.
