Researchers are studying whether the drugs that upended diabetes and obesity care could also revolutionise Alzheimer’s treatment. Here’s what they have learnt so far.
For modern biotherapeutics, cell line development workflows must include more than just automated liquid handling.

Stanford Medicine is the first to offer the new blood test for mold infections deep inside the body, sparing patients from tissue biopsies.
Olive oil bioactives, including MUFAs, polyphenols, and triterpenoids, modulate gene expression linked to insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and beta-cell function, offering potential benefits for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus prevention and management.
Last month was the world’s warmest January on record and raised further questions about the pace of climate change, scientists say.
January 2025 had been expected to be slightly cooler than January 2024 because of a shift away from a natural weather pattern in the Pacific known as El Niño.
But instead, last month broke the January 2024 record by nearly 0.1C, according to the European Copernicus climate service.
In December, the company gave access to developers and trusted testers, as well as wrapping some features into Google products, but this is a “general release,” according to Google.
The suite of models includes 2.0 Flash, which is billed as a “workhorse model, optimal for high-volume, high-frequency tasks at scale,” as well as 2.0 Pro Experimental for coding performance, and 2.0 Flash-Lite, which the company calls its “most cost-efficient model yet.”
Gemini Flash costs developers 10 cents per million tokens for text, image and video inputs, while Flash-Lite, its more cost-effective version, costs 0.75 of a cent for the same. Tokens refer to each individual unit of data that the model processes.
Researchers create genetically engineered mice with human-like telomeres, allowing effects of interventions to be observed in mammals.
An analog-digital approach to quantum simulation could lay the foundations for the next generation of supercomputers to finally outpace their classical predecessors.
Is it possible to understand the Universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not likely.
In practical terms? Definitely not. Extremely large objects can distort our understanding of the cosmos.
Astronomers have found the largest structure in the Universe so far, named Quipu after an Incan measuring system. It contains a shocking 200 quadrillion solar masses.
