Researchers have created a next-generation obesity drug that works like a "Trojan horse," using GLP-1/GIP signals to slip a powerful metabolic enhancer directly into target cells. In mice, it outperformed existing treatments--curbing appetite, ...

Some people taking Ozempic-like diabetes drugs may be getting dramatically better results for a surprising reason: why they overeat in the first place. A year-long study in Japan found that people who tend to eat because tempting food looks or smells ...

Aging doesn't just add fat--it redistributes it in risky ways, pushing more into the abdomen where it can harm health. Scientists found that testosterone plays a key role in this shift. In older women recovering from hip fractures, a testosterone gel ...

A new twin study suggests your genes may play a bigger role in your future success than your upbringing. Researchers found that IQ, which is largely genetically influenced, strongly predicts education, career, and income. Even twins raised in the ...

Scientists in Sweden have taken a major step toward a potential cure for type 1 diabetes by developing a more reliable way to create insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. These lab-grown cells not only respond strongly to glucose but were .. ...

MIT neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising secret hidden in the adult brain: millions of "silent synapses," dormant connections that lie in wait until new learning calls them into action. Once thought to exist only in early development, these .. ...

A short burst of immunotherapy before surgery is delivering surprisingly powerful results for a specific type of colorectal cancer. Patients in a UK-led trial who received just nine weeks of pembrolizumab prior to surgery have remained cancer-free .. ...

A major 10-year clinical trial is turning one of the world's most common knee surgeries on its head. Researchers found that trimming a damaged meniscus--a procedure long believed to relieve pain--offers no real benefit over placebo surgery. Even more ...

A chaotic sleep schedule in your 40s might be quietly setting the stage for heart trouble later. Researchers tracking thousands of people for over a decade found that those with highly inconsistent bedtimes--especially when they slept less than eight ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough injectable biomaterial that travels through the bloodstream to repair damaged tissue from within, reducing inflammation and jumpstarting healing. In animal studies, it successfully treated heart attack damage ...
