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 […]

Your Gut Microbiome May Be Contagious, Scientists Discover
In addition to diet and medication, person-to-person transmission can also play an important role in shaping the microbiome. The human gut contains a vast community of trillions of microorganisms (the microbiome) that helps shape digestion, immune function, and metabolism. A team led by the University of Vienna used a method called ‘reverse ecology’ to show […]
