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 […]
Scientists Create Improved Insulin Cells That Reverse Diabetes in Mice
An improved stem cell method produces functional insulin cells that reverse diabetes in mice. Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden have created a more reliable way to generate insulin-producing cells from human stem cells. Their findings, published in Stem Cell Reports, show that these lab-grown cells can regulate blood […]

Scientists Stunned After Finding Plant Thought Extinct for 60 Years
Citizen science platforms, including iNaturalist, are driving major discoveries and becoming essential tools for researchers. How can we improve them further? A plant missing for nearly 60 years has been found again in one of Australia’s most remote landscapes, and the rediscovery started with a sharp-eyed bird bander, a phone camera, and a citizen science […]
A Common Diabetes Drug May Hold the Key to Stopping HIV From Coming Back
Researchers found that certain immune cells, genes, and the drug metformin may help keep HIV dormant after treatment stops, offering new paths toward long-term control. For millions of people living with HIV, taking daily medication is essential for life. If treatment stops, the virus typically returns within weeks. However, some rare individuals can control the […]
