Popular GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs Linked to 30% Lower Breast Cancer Risk

New research suggests GLP-1 medications may be associated with a lower likelihood of developing breast cancer. GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, but researchers are increasingly exploring whether their benefits extend far beyond weight loss. Now, a study involving more than 110,000 women suggests these widely used drugs may […]

Tiny Fossil Overlooked for Decades Reveals a New Ice Age Species

A tiny fossil overlooked for decades at La Brea Tar Pits has turned out to belong to a species previously unknown to science. Researchers have identified Spea labreae, a previously unknown extinct spadefoot toad from La Brea Tar Pits and the first new species of extinct amphibian discovered from Ice Age Los Angeles. Only one […]

Ancient Neanderthal DNA May Give Some People More Muscle

A Neanderthal-derived growth hormone receptor still carried by some people today appears to amplify growth-related signals in cells. Some people alive today still carry a version of the growth hormone receptor inherited from Neanderthals, and its effects can be measured in their bodies. Neanderthals were typically more powerfully built than most modern humans, with skeletal […]

These Overlooked Immune Cells Supercharge the Fight Against Cancer

Researchers found that a little-known group of immune cells is crucial for keeping cancer-fighting T cells active during immunotherapy. A small and difficult-to-study population of immune cells may play a much larger role in fighting cancer than previously understood. Researchers at the University of Manchester’s Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute found that activated dendritic cells […]
