Poison control calls involving semaglutide (Ozempic and Wegovy) soared after the drug was approved for weight management, with researchers linking the increase to accidental dosing mistakes rather than intentional misuse...

Scientists found that a modified Mediterranean-style diet with low protein and just enough methionine helped mice live healthier lives while reducing body fat and frailty. Human data also linked lower animal protein inta...

SpudCell is a big step toward synthetic biology's dream of building life from scratch. The post This Synthetic Cell Grows, Copies Its DNA, and Produces Offspring-But It Isnt Alive appeared first on SingularityHub.

A 15-year study suggests that long-term malaria control may depend as much on protecting environments as it does on sustaining public health programs.

A retrospective cohort study of 19,824 NFL players confirms that professional football veterans face a fourfold increase in neurodegenerative mortality, including a 3.8-fold surge in all-cause dementia and Parkinson'...

A new study combines VR eye-tracking with Large Language Models to prove that human eye movements serve as a stable identity fingerprint.

A rare coin from the reign of Magnus Barefoot - sometimes called Norway's last Viking king, was mistaken for a button before researchers realized it was the first of its kind found on Norwegian soil.

A technologically ambitious partnership between UCSF Neuroscape and Samsung launches the TAH-DA study, a massive remote longitudinal trial utilizing consumer wearables to predict and track cognitive decline across the ad...
