Research Uncovers Brain Mechanism That Heals the Body During Sleep

Healthcare, Medicine /

During sleep, the body releases ‘growth hormone‘ to repair and strengthen muscles and bones — though the exact mechanisms behind this process have long been unclear. Now, through detailed analysis of brain circuits in mice, a research team led by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) has uncovered specific mechanisms and feedback […]

Ozempic Rival? New Therapy Reprograms Metabolism for Sustainable Weight Loss

Healthcare, Medicine /

Although medications like Ozempic have shown strong results in helping people shed pounds, many patients regain the weight once they stop treatment. A new drug, however, takes a different approach, aiming to deliver longer-lasting results by altering the body’s metabolism. Drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Trulicity belong to a class called GLP-1 receptor agonists.

The World’s Largest Neutrino Detector Begins Operations Deep Underground

Physics, Science /

Neutrinos rank among the most mysterious particles in the standard model, largely because they are so elusive. Although around 400 trillion of them stream through every human body each second, produced mainly by the Sun, they almost never interact with ordinary matter—making them notoriously difficult to study. A Giant Leap in Detection To peel back
