Dysfunctional mitochondria may drive age-related inflammation by helping switch on inflammatory genes, and blocking SLC25A1 reduced that activity. As people age, senescent cells accumulate in the body. These so-called “zombie” cells have stopped dividing but remain metabolically active, releasing inflammatory molecules that can contribute to persistent inflammation associated with frailty, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegeneration, and […]

The Rare Vision Side Effect of Ozempic and Wegovy You Should Know About
Rutgers researchers say the risk is low, but patients should still be aware of the possible association. GLP-1 medications have become widely used for Type 2 diabetes and obesity, with drugs such as semaglutide, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, and tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro and Zepbound, among the best-known examples. The drugs can also reduce […]
NASA’s New Space Telescope Could Map the Entire Sky With Hubble-Like Detail
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will combine a panoramic view of the cosmos with powerful tools for probing dark energy and hidden worlds. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is just one day from launch, and it is built to see the universe in a way no major space telescope has before. Roman will combine Hubble-like […]

Hidden Deep Beneath Mars, Scientists Find Evidence of a Vast Magmatic System
Mars may have built a surprisingly complex crust through large magmatic systems without the plate tectonics long thought necessary. Mars has no moving tectonic plates, yet deep beneath its surface may lie evidence of the kind of vast, interconnected magmatic systems once thought to require them. Researchers from the University of Oxford have found signs […]

One Tiny Chemical Difference in RNA Could Help Explain the Origins of Life
A tiny chemical difference makes RNA better than DNA at forming liquid-like droplets under high temperatures and acidic conditions. One of the biggest puzzles in origin of life research comes before the first cells even existed: How could RNA molecules gather in one place, interact, and help produce early life without cellular compartments to hold […]
