Only last week, we reported on one of the few negative stories about semaglutide, a member of the class of drugs known as glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s or GLP-1RAs) that are used to treat diabetes and/or weight loss.Continue Reading… Continue reading ‘Ozempic drugs’ reduce obesity-associated cancer risk by up to 65%
A popular supplement most often used to help you get shut-eye may actually help you preserve your eyes, with new research linking melatonin and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Case Western Reserve … Continue reading Common sleep aid protects your eyesight as you age
Scientists have discovered a new mechanism for how type 2 diabetes takes hold, and demonstrated in mice that blocking a particular enzyme could open a new avenue of treatment for the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Diabetes, Dia… Continue reading Scientists discover new “cause” for diabetes, opening new treatments
A clinical trial has found that the cardiovascular benefits that the drug semaglutide affords to overweight or obese type 2 diabetics extend to those without diabetes as well. The study suggests that the drug offers a new way to reduce the potentially … Continue reading Ozempic drug found to reduce heart risk in overweight non-diabetics
Our solar system officially houses eight planets, but some scientists say there could be a ninth. And that’s not just Pluto aficionados – evidence suggests a huge undiscovered world lurks on the dark fringes out there. Now, a new study has found the ou… Continue reading “Modified gravity” could rule out both dark matter and Planet Nine
A new study tracking the health of more than six million older Americans over 2020 and 2021 has found COVID-19 nearly doubles a person’s risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease in the year following infection. The findings add to a growing body of research indicating SARS-CoV-2 infections can affect progression of several neurodegenerative diseases.

Dark matter is currently the most widely accepted hypothesis for explaining some of the weirdness we see in the cosmos – but it’s not the only possibility. Now, a team of astronomers has discovered evidence in over 150 galaxies for a long-standing alte… Continue reading Evidence of “modified gravity” strengthens dark matter alternative
Preliminary research, from scientists at Case Western Reserve University, has discovered several blood-based biomarkers which can specifically indicate stroke damage to brain tissue. The goal of the research is to develop a simple blood test to rapidly… Continue reading Study promises novel blood test to detect minor, “hidden” strokes
One of the ways the human body can fight off cancer cells is through enzymes known as protein phosphatases, which act as a brake to slow cancer growth. Molecules can be used to ramp up the activity of these enzymes, and through advanced imaging techniq… Continue reading 3D imaging reveals inner workings of an “off-switch” for cancer
