Modern weight loss drugs have revolutionized obesity treatment, allowing many people to lose significant amounts of weight. However, these drugs often have significant drawbacks. That means it can also reduce muscle mass. Now, researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that may one day help meet that challenge while increasing the body’s ability to burn fat. Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science have identified a protein called MTCH2 (nicknamed “Mitch”) that appears to play a key role in how cells manage energy and store fat. In a recent study published in EMBO JournalThe research team found that disabling this protein…

Unexamined research platforms erroneously post debunked theories about race and genetics. A recent analysis reveals that those promoting scientific racism are using mainstream open science archives to disseminate flawed comparisons about human behavior. The study was published in the journal Behavior Genetics. Over the past decade, the open science movement has dramatically changed the way scholars share information. Researchers frequently upload early drafts of manuscripts, known as preprints, to the Internet Archive. This allows scientists to bypass the traditional peer review process and share data immediately. Peer review typically involves independent experts who evaluate research for methodological errors before it…

Excessive blood loss is the leading cause of death from combat injuries, making rapid hemorrhage control one of the greatest challenges in battlefield medicine. KAIST researchers, including Army Maj., have developed a next-generation spray powder that can stop severe bleeding in about a second. This innovation has the potential to significantly improve survival rates for injured soldiers, while also opening up a wide range of possibilities for civilian emergency medical care. A research team led by Professor Steve Park of KAIST’s School of Materials Science and Engineering and Professor Sangyoung Jeong of the School of Biological Sciences has developed a…

Large-scale language models tend to adopt the social biases of human hierarchy when different professional roles are assigned. New research shows that these artificial intelligence systems mimic behaviors such as harmful compliance and authority bias, providing evidence that power dynamics influence both the safety and realism of automated agents. These findings were published in the proceedings of the 64th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics. Artificial intelligence models are increasingly being used in complex roles faced by humans. People rely on them for medical advice, legal assistance, educational guidance, and more. In such high-stakes situations, programs must be…

Researchers at the University of Oxford have created a new calculator to estimate an individual’s risk of developing serious muscle damage while taking statins. This tool is designed to help patients and doctors make more informed decisions about these commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering drugs, which are widely used to prevent heart attacks and strokes. This study lancet digital healthfound that over 98% of people identified by their general practitioner as a candidate for statin therapy had a low predicted risk of developing serious muscle disorders over the next 10 years. The findings suggest that fears of severe muscle-related side effects may…

A data center developer in Pennsylvania plans to rely on at least seven new natural gas-fired power plants that will emit climate-warming gases equivalent to driving 14 million cars each year, according to a new report. Together, these power plants will emit the equivalent of about 68 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, part of a national trend that is leading to significant increases in greenhouse gas emissions in a global effort to slow climate change, according to a report by the advocacy group Conservation Project. This increase means Pennsylvania’s emissions will increase by 24 percent as of…

An analysis of data from a Norwegian administrative database covering the period 2005 to 2017 found that unemployment appears to disrupt childbearing, but the specific impact depends on gender. When the female partner became unemployed, couples were less likely to have a first child, regardless of household income at the time of unemployment. On the other hand, the male partner’s unemployment hindered the couple’s progress towards having a second child. The paper is social science research. Employment and income insecurity occurs when people face job uncertainty, irregular income, involuntary unemployment, or repeated unemployment. Such instability can reduce household assets and…

A new study led by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified a way to tailor drug combinations based on specific tumor biology to improve outcomes in treatment-resistant, advanced melanoma. In preclinical models of patients with treatment-resistant tumors, combining standard BRAF and MEK inhibitors with drugs that block BCL2 family proteins that promote tumor growth induced tumor regression in a molecularly defined subset of resistant tumors, suggesting a path toward biomarker-based therapy. This study nature communicationsThe study was led by Vashisht Gopal Yenu Nanda, PhD, associate professor of melanoma medical oncology and translational molecular pathology,…

Insilico Medicine (“Insilico” HKEX:3696), a leader in clinical stage generation AI for drug discovery, today announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Takeda to advance the development of drug candidates across the company’s therapeutic areas using its proprietary end-to-end platform, Pharma.AI. The collaboration aims to identify clinically differentiated drug candidates that represent promising therapeutic targets. Using advanced generative models from the early stages of design, the team aims to improve the quality of candidate molecules and optimize them to achieve best-in-class efficacy and safety standards. Under the agreement, Insilico will lead AI-powered discovery to identify molecules that meet predefined scientific and…
