Mass General Brigham researchers used long-term data and a blood test for the biomarker pTau217 to identify the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease in cognitively healthy adults. A team of investigators at Mass General Brigham reports that a blood test measuring plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217), a biomarker linked to Alzheimer’s disease, can forecast changes […]
U.S. Waste Holds $5.7 Billion Worth of Crop Nutrients
Recycling waste nutrients could cut fertilizer use, but coordination and infrastructure are key. Nutrients recovered from animal and human waste could sharply cut the need for synthetic fertilizers in the United States, according to a new Cornell University study that considers practical challenges such as processing and transportation. Published in Nature Sustainability, the study estimates […]

Scientists Say a Hidden Structure May Exist Inside Earth’s Core
Deep within Earth’s core, scientists are uncovering signs of a hidden structure that challenges long-standing models of the planet’s interior. Far below the surface, beyond the reach of drilling, Earth’s core may contain a previously unknown layer. Scientists now believe Earth’s center is not a single uniform sphere but a more complex structure, with a […]
Doctors Surprised by the Power of a Simple Drug Against Colon Cancer
A common medication may be taking on an unexpected role in cancer care. What if a cheap, everyday painkiller could help keep cancer from coming back after surgery? New clinical trial results suggest that for some patients with colorectal cancer, aspirin may do exactly that. In a study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and […]

Why Popular Diabetes Drugs Like Ozempic Don’t Work for Everyone: The “Genetic Glitch”
A large international study suggests that a subset of people with Type 2 diabetes carry genetic variants that blunt the effectiveness of widely used GLP-1–based drugs, despite unexpectedly elevated levels of the hormone in their bodies. GLP-1 receptor agonists are now used by more than a quarter of people with Type 2 diabetes, and their […]
