Humans may have hidden regenerative powers

For generations, scientists have viewed the inability to regrow lost body parts as one of the fundamental limitations of humans and other mammals. While creatures such as salamanders can regenerate entire limbs, humans typically heal injuries by forming scar tissue. New research from the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine…

Ozempic and Wegovy linked to surprising drop in violent behavior

Popular GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy are best known for helping people lose weight and manage diabetes. New research from Rutgers University suggests these drugs may also be linked to changes in behaviors associated with violence. The study, published in Criminology, investigated whether GLP-1 receptor agonists influence violent…

Scientists discover spider that disguises itself as a parasitic fungus

Researchers have identified a remarkable new spider species in Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest that disguises itself as a parasitic fungus. The species, named Taczanowskia waska, represents the first known example of a spider mimicking the appearance of a fungus that infects spiders. The discovery was made by an international team of…

On the brink of extinction, the vaquita gets a digital lifeline

The vaquita (Phocoena sinus), a small porpoise found only in the shallow waters of Mexico’s northern Gulf of California, is among the most endangered marine mammals on the planet. At roughly 5 feet long, it is the smallest member of the cetacean group, which includes whales, dolphins and porpoises. Recognizable…

Common plastic chemical linked to lifelong anxiety in new study

Male rats exposed to a widely used plastic chemical during early development showed higher levels of anxiety as adults, according to research presented at ENDO 2026, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois. Although the study was conducted in rodents, the findings suggest that exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals…

A daily probiotic may help relieve depression and anxiety

Could improving gut health also help improve mental health? A small clinical trial suggests that probiotics, often called “good bacteria,” may provide an extra boost for older adults being treated for depression. Researchers found that seniors with depression who took a daily probiotic alongside their regular antidepressant treatment experienced modest…

Superconductivity breakthrough could unlock ultra-efficient electronics

Superconductors could one day help power a new generation of ultra-efficient electronics, but major technical hurdles have kept the technology largely confined to research labs. Now, scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have developed a new approach that tackles one of the field’s biggest challenges: maintaining superconductivity at…

New plasma trick could unlock smaller, more powerful computer chips

Silicon has powered computer chips for decades, but engineers are increasingly running into the material’s physical limits. To keep making electronics smaller and more powerful, researchers are investigating ways to combine silicon with new ultrathin materials. One promising group of materials is known as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD). Among the…

New procedure delivers lasting knee arthritis pain relief without surgery

A minimally invasive procedure that blocks abnormal blood vessels around the knee may offer long lasting relief for people with osteoarthritis, according to new research published on June 16 in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis and…

Scientists say most of what’s in your food is still a mystery

When scientists cracked the human genome in 2003 – sequencing the entire genetic code of a human being – many expected it would unlock the secrets of disease. But genetics explained only about 10% of the risk. The other 90% lies in the environment – and diet plays a huge…
