Medical Xpress / Continuing tirzepatide at full dose helps preserve weight loss over 112 weeks
New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May) and published in The Lancet shows that people who have lost weight using the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tirzepatide ...
Medical Xpress / Personalized vaccine shows promise against aggressive brain cancer
A personalized vaccine to treat glioblastoma, a fast-growing and incurable brain cancer that affects four in 100,000 people in the U.S., is safe and elicits robust and broad immune responses that appear to increase recurrence-free ...
Phys.org / One drug, two cleanup crews: A built-in backup for targeted protein degradation
Most drugs work by inhibition: they block a protein's activity but leave the protein itself intact. Targeted protein degradation takes a fundamentally different approach, harnessing the cell's own quality-control machinery ...
Phys.org / Ice Age butcher's tools are a sign of ancient humans' creativity during hard times
In central China, scientists have spent over a decade excavating and studying an archaeological site where ancient humans butchered animals. Amidst bones, archaeologists found complex stone tools that would have required ...
Tech Xplore / 3D-MIND: A flexible device that can be integrated with living brain cells
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, image generators and AI-powered creative tools, draw inspiration from the human brain's functions and organization. ...
Medical Xpress / Future cancer therapy could use immunity to clean up damaged DNA by modulating AUF1
Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the authors of a new paper demonstrated how the downregulation of AUF1 impairs DNA repair, followed ...
Phys.org / Shark face study uncovers 400-million-year-old blueprint shared across jawed vertebrates
Most of what scientists know about face development comes from studies in bony vertebrates such as mice, chickens, and zebrafish. However, their evolutionary counterparts, cartilaginous fishes, have remained largely unexplored. ...
Phys.org / Metabolism-inspired hydrogels replicate heartbeat-like motion and photosynthesis
Living organisms sustain themselves through intricate metabolic processes that continuously convert energy and materials into useful functions. Inspired by these biological systems, researchers are now engineering synthetic ...
Medical Xpress / Research into Friedreich's ataxia reveals how DNA folding can silence a key gene
Researchers have uncovered a fundamental rule that governs how genes are physically arranged inside the cell nucleus, and how disruptions to that organization can contribute to human disease.
Medical Xpress / Everyday air pollution linked to poorer brain function, study finds
The air pollution we breathe daily could be harming more than just our lungs and hearts. New research from McMaster University suggests that fine particles from traffic, industry, and wildfire smoke are linked to worse cognitive ...
Medical Xpress / Routine scans may reveal tumor aggressiveness in head and neck cancer—without additional tests
Medical imaging routinely used in cancer care may hold far more biological information than previously thought. An international study involving Umeå University guest professor Lukas Kenner shows that PET/CT scans can capture ...
Medical Xpress / AI chatbot shows promise in combating health misinformation
Can AI help people resist misinformation? Initial research findings suggest that artificial intelligence-driven conversations can strengthen people's resilience to health misinformation, outperforming traditional educational ...
