news Biology Evidence status: Mouse study · Peer reviewed
A mouse study maps a lymphatic route that drains fluid from the back of the eye to a neck lymph node in 20 minutes. What it may mean for glaucoma.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Genome-wide association study
A study of up to 1.14 million people linked 1,260 DNA variants to Big Five personality traits, but each effect was tiny and genes are not destiny.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Mouse study
Semaglutide extended median lifespan by about 12% in older female mice, but the study does not show that Ozempic slows human aging.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Human genetic association study
Health · Peer reviewed. Rare-variant sequencing identifies 36 risk genes and shared biology—but does not create a diagnostic test.
News AI Evidence status: Preprint · Laboratory bacteriophage study
Biology · Preprint. A 44,000-variant map of bacteriophage ΦX174 exposes mutation effects that leading biological AI models still struggle to predict.
News Anthropology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Wild-animal kinematic study
Wild sooty mangabeys flex their midfeet by as much as 46 degrees, showing why fossil foot shape alone cannot settle ancient climbing ability.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Embryology and comparative anatomy
More than 800 embryo images reveal a shared right-handed spiral, with unequal growth around a gut tether offering a mechanical explanation.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Comparative anatomical study
A broad skull comparison suggests the extinct thylacine used fast snapping bites on smaller prey—not wolf-like attacks on sheep.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Laboratory and genomic study
Drying damages tuberculosis DNA and activates repair pathways that may help some rifampin-resistant strains survive transmission.
