A new AI model to improve trial enrollment, importing drugs from Canada, and more biotech news from The Readout
Every year, about a billion people worldwide contract influenza, leading to as many as 650,000 deaths. Outbreaks are often seasonal, and their pattern varies by climatic zone. In temperate regions, flu season is in the winter, while in the tropics, constant low-intensity activity is typically punctuated by two annual peaks—or a surge during the rainy season.
Merino wool is warm, comfortable and surprisingly adaptable, making it a smart choice for days when the weather can't quite make up its mind. But exactly why is it such a good material?
Weight loss drugs will be available through Medicare starting next month, thanks to a program that is supposed to be temporary but may be difficult to end
While humans are observing their surroundings, their eyes tend to rapidly shift between different objects, people and details that catch their attention, pausing briefly on each one. In psychology, prolonged pauses on specific items are known as fixations.
Could Earth have seeded Jupiter's moon Europa with bacterial life, where it could have taken hold in Europa's ocean and perhaps evolved into something more? That's the hypothesis of a new paper in the International Journal of Astrobiology by Zaza Osmanov of the Free University of Tbilisi in Georgia.
A major Australian clinical trial has found that timing when you eat can be just as effective as traditional dietitian-led advice in trying to lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
One of the hardest things to calculate for an asteroid is its mass—but it is such a critical feature. It determines how much of an impact it would have if it hits something, or how many resources are potentially available on it. But to accurately measure it, we typically use optical sensing and a guesstimate of its density based on its spectral profile.
Many people prescribed GLP-1 drugs for type 2 diabetes (such as Victoza, Ozempic, or tirzepatide) stop taking them, but a surprising number later return to treatment. Researchers found that newer medications appear to keep patients on therapy longer, while side effects remain a major reason for discontinuation.
What does it mean for a hospital to offer "trauma-informed care?" How about a hairdresser? Or even a paint color consultant?
Our search for technosignatures—clear signs of advanced civilizations beyond Earth—takes many forms. Many are driven by the famous Drake equation, which attempts to estimate how many technological civilizations there are in the Milky Way. However, there's a big fat question mark at the end of that equation in the form of a variable intended to account for the "longevity" of a civilization. And to be clear, that doesn't mean how long the civilization itself survives. It simply means how long it actively creates a signature that is detectable by our current technology.
For a frog no bigger than a fingernail, survival depends on how it spends every bit of energy. New research from the University of Florida shows that young frogs prioritize growing quickly even when infected with a deadly pathogen, shifting energy toward immune defense only when infections become severe. The findings, published in the Journal of Animal Ecology, reveal how early life decisions about energy use shape survival, development and population health.
Help scientists find binary star systems that include elusive celestial bodies known as brown dwarfs. Anyone with a smartphone or laptop can do this project. The post Backyard Worlds: Binaries appeared first on NASA Science.
At the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Bielefeld University is looking for fans of all national teams. The Football Fever Study uses smartwatch data to record how match events affect fans' heart rates and stress levels. Anyone wearing a device from one of 13 supported brands, such as Apple, Google, Samsung and Garmin, can take part.
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have created an open database with 124 carbon-14-dated samples that have made it possible to construct the chronological sequence of 380 sites located in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. The evidence confirms continuous human occupation for several thousand years at sites found at more than 2,000 meters (6,562 feet).
For decades, influenza vaccines have been judged largely by the antibodies they generate in the bloodstream, a measure that has remained the gold standard since the first flu immunizations were administered in the 1940s.
A new telemetry study published in the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences finds that the method used to raise juvenile lake sturgeon before stocking has little bearing on how the fish behave after release—an important finding for ongoing efforts to restore the species to the Maumee River and other Ohio rivers.
Paraquat is one of the world's most widely used herbicides. It's also highly toxic, and some research points to a link with Parkinson's disease.
The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Feinberg has a distinct strength in understanding how behavior and lifestyle influence gastrointestinal (GI) health. Through its work and in collaboration with the Northwestern Medicine Digestive Health Center, the division conducts research aimed at improving treatments for disorders of the digestive tract and related organs.
Researchers are celebrating the release of the once locally extinct burrowing bettong back into the NSW desert—with the aim of training them to survive alongside feral cats and foxes.
