Scientists show that lecanemab clears amyloid plaques by engaging microglia through its Fc fragment, defining the cellular program behind its therapeutic effect Lecanemab, marketed as Leqembi, is a monoclonal antibody treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that reduces the buildup of toxic amyloid plaques in the brain and slows cognitive decline. Scientists from VIB and KU Leuven […]
Scientists Create “Smart Underwear” To Measure How Often We Really Fart
A new nationwide study led by the University of Maryland is seeking volunteers to help document and analyze the full range of human flatulence. Researchers at the University of Maryland have unveiled what they describe as the first wearable device built specifically to measure human flatulence. Known as Smart Underwear, the discreet sensor system tracks […]
The Disappearing Worms Beneath Our Seas – and the Scientists Fighting Back
EuroWorm is building an open genomic inventory of European marine annelids to combat biodiversity loss and accelerate species discovery. By linking historical collections with modern genomics, the project strengthens global research and museum infrastructure. Across the globe, species are vanishing at an unprecedented pace—accelerated by climate change, habitat loss, and invasive species. Organisms that have […]

Tiny Fish Stun Scientists With Mammal-Like Intelligence
Cleaner wrasse may be far more cognitively sophisticated than previously thought. Scientists at Osaka Metropolitan University in Japan have identified a new and unexpected behavior in cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus). When shown a mirror, these small reef fish did more than appear to recognize their reflections. They also began interacting with the mirror using a […]
Scientists Uncover the Secret Structure Behind “Nature’s Proton Highway”
By freezing a crucial phosphoric acid complex to near absolute zero, scientists uncovered a single, unexpectedly stable structure at the heart of proton transport. Phosphoric acid is vital in both biology and modern technology because of its exceptional ability to move electrical charge. Inside the human body and in devices such as fuel cells, this […]
