Scientists discovered that Greenland’s ice sheet may be slowly churning deep below the surface, revealing a hidden process shaping its future. Buried far beneath Greenland’s vast ice sheet, scientists have identified enormous swirling, plume-like formations. These unusual structures have baffled researchers for more than ten years. Now, scientists at the University of Bergen (UiB) believe […]
Scientists Achieve Long-Sought Breakthrough Toward Oral Insulin Pills
A new peptide-based drug-delivery strategy may bring scientists closer to an oral form of insulin. For more than 100 years, scientists have pursued the idea of delivering insulin as a pill. This goal has remained difficult to achieve because insulin breaks down in the digestive system and the intestine lacks a natural transport pathway that […]

New Pill Slashes “Bad” Cholesterol by 60%
Study could lead to an effective new option to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes for millions who cannot control their cholesterol. A new experimental medication called enlicitide has shown powerful cholesterol-lowering effects in a large clinical study. In a phase three trial reported in The New England Journal of Medicine, the once-daily […]
Scientists Turn Bacteria Into Tiny Tumor Hunters That Kill Cancer
Scientists turned bacteria into tumor-hunting drug factories—hinting at a bold new way to fight cancer. Millions of people worldwide are diagnosed with cancer each year, yet treating the disease remains challenging due to its complexity. New research published today (March 17) in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Tianyu Jiang at Shandong University in Qingdao, […]
