    Cheap Ozempic is coming: Cost could soon be slashed for millions of Americans, drugmaker confirms — here’s how

    Cheap Ozempic is coming: Cost could soon be slashed for millions of Americans, drugmaker confirms — here’s how

    Ulrich Otte, the company’s senior vice president of finance and operations, made the claim at the Cantor Global Healthcare Conference in New York earlier this week, saying: “It is very likely that Ozempic will be part of negotiations in the coming round, and we’re ready for that.”


    Proteins in tooth enamel offer window into human wellness

    Proteins in tooth enamel offer window into human wellness

    "We see certain individuals, especially children, with very high levels of immunoglobulins, which the body uses to battle disease, and C-reactive protein, which people produce when they are under stress," said Jelmer Eerkens, an anthropology professor at University of California, Davis and one of the corresponding authors on the paper.


    Breastfeeding is crucial to shaping infant’s microbes and promoting lung health

    Breastfeeding is crucial to shaping infant’s microbes and promoting lung health

    "Just as a pacemaker regulates the rhythm of the heart, breastfeeding and human milk set the pace and sequence for microbial colonization in the infant's gut and nasal cavity, ensuring that this process occurs in an orderly and timely manner," said study co-senior investigator and computational biologist Liat Shenhav, PhD.


    Hardship early in life can affect health and longevity — even for marmots

    Hardship early in life can affect health and longevity — even for marmots

    To create the index, doctoral student Xochitl Ortiz-Ross selected data for female marmots born after 2001 -- when the researchers started quantifying physiological stress -- that remained in one of the studied colonies until 2019, to guarantee an accurate record of their pedigree, age and lifetime experiences.


    New insights into DNA organization during embryonic development

    New insights into DNA organization during embryonic development

    Guerreiro tells: "Uncovering the mechanism behind the unusual nuclear organization that characterizes the early embryo has the potential to improve regenerative medicine strategies and human in vitro fertilization outcomes."


    Arsenic exposure linked to faster onset of diabetes in south Texas population

    Arsenic exposure linked to faster onset of diabetes in south Texas population

    In a longitudinal study of over 500 Mexican Americans living in southern Texas, researchers found that high levels of toxic metals in urine predicted faster increases in blood sugar over subsequent years.

    Ignore antifungal resistance in fungal disease at your peril, warn top scientists

    Professor Ferry Hagen added: "Despite the huge difficulties in developing them, several promising new agents including entirely new classes of molecules, have entered clinical trials in recent years.


    How many people have A-Fib? Three times more than we thought

    How many people have A-Fib? Three times more than we thought

    Atrial fibrillation, a rapid, irregular heart beat that can lead to stroke or sudden death, is three times more common than previously thought, affecting nearly 5% of the population, or 10.5 million U.S. adults, according to new estimates from UC San Francisco.


    Clinical trials inappropriately excluding people of African/Middle Eastern descent, new research shows

    Clinical trials inappropriately excluding people of African/Middle Eastern descent, new research shows

    "Natural variation in neutrophil counts between people of different ancestry has been historically described by the inaccurate and now-outdated diagnosis 'benign ethnic neutropenia,'" says Stephen Hibbs of Queen Mary University of London, who led the study, published today by JAMA Network Open, and for which Dana-Farber's Andrew Hantel, MD is senior author.


    Scientists expand the genetic alphabet to create new proteins

    Scientists expand the genetic alphabet to create new proteins

    Badran and his colleagues wanted to create an efficient plug-and-play strategy that would only incorporate the chosen non-canonical amino acid(s) into specific sites in a target protein, without disrupting the cell's normal biology or requiring the entire genome to be edited.


    Atypical metabolite levels at birth may increase SIDS risk

    Atypical metabolite levels at birth may increase SIDS risk

    Jan. 20, 2020 — Children born to mothers who both drank and smoked beyond the first trimester of pregnancy have a 12-fold increased risk for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) compared to those unexposed or only ...


    New insights into the genetics of schizophrenia

    New insights into the genetics of schizophrenia

    As sample sizes for genetic studies continue to grow and new analytical methods emerge, researchers are increasingly able to tackle the longstanding question of how nature and nurture interact in complex disorders like schizophrenia.


    Expert survey unveils underestimated health impacts of weather and climate on mortality

    Expert survey unveils underestimated health impacts of weather and climate on mortality

    Since weather and climate hazards are specific with regard to a country and its impacts on a population, this study selected well-validated and open meteorological and health data, particularly from the UK.


    Raw white garlic shows promise in boosting heart health and reducing disease risks

    Raw white garlic shows promise in boosting heart health and reducing disease risks

    Recent meta-analyses have validated these hypotheses, highlighting that garlic can substantially reduce lipid metrics (such as total cholesterol and triglycerides) with no adverse effects alongside red yeast and plant sterols.


    Study shows cognitive behavioral therapy can lead to brain changes in depression patients

    Study shows cognitive behavioral therapy can lead to brain changes in depression patients

    When researchers examined the brain scans, they found that in the group receiving only usual care, a cognitive control circuit that became less active over the course of the study correlated with worsening problem-solving ability.
