There, a research chemist named Ed Sisco and his team had developed methods for detecting trace amounts of drugs, explosives, and other dangerous materials—techniques that could protect law enforcement officials and others who had to collect these samples. Essentially, Sisco’s lab had fine-tuned a technology called DART (for “direct analysis in real time”) mass spectrometry—which the US Transportation Security Administration uses to test for explosives by swiping your hand—to enable the detectio

Research out this week might help you plan your own version of the Ozempic diet, with the results of a survey revealing the foods that people tend to avoid, or eat less of, once they start taking GLP-1 drugs. Scientists at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station led the study, a survey of past, current, and potentially future GLP-1 users. They found that people were most likely to reduce their consumption of certain food groups, such as soft drinks and beef. Notably, though, people’s desir

The case for Ozempic as a dementia buster is building. Research published this week has found that GLP-1 drugs are associated with a lower risk of dementia in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers in Ireland led the study, a review of the existing evidence. Compared to controls (like other forms of medication or a placebo), people on GLP-1 therapy were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with dementia, the researchers found. Other scientists and pharmaceutical companies have already be

A species of Paenibacillus bacteria has potent antibacterial activity against some pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli.Credit: Clouds Hill Imaging Ltd/Science Photo Library Researchers have discovered a new antibiotic molecule that targets a broad range of disease-causing bacteria — even strains resistant to commercial drugs — and is not toxic to human cells1. The molecule was found in soil samples collected from a laboratory technician’s garden. The discovery shows that “there is ter

A pair of Perkins Tractors Have you ever heard of a Perkins Tractor? If you lived in London in the 18th Century, you could buy a pair of Perkins Tractors (shown above) for the steep price of five guineas, and wave them over an aching part of your body for about twenty minutes as a way of relieving your pain. They worked, sort of. People who bought and used Perkins Tractors really did report feeling that their pain had gone away, even though there was no physiological reason they should work. Jo

Wegovy, eat your heart out. In a new research paper, scientists say they’ve discovered a naturally occurring hormone that might help people lose weight while avoiding the side effects commonly associated with semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy) and similar drugs. A team of researchers at Stanford Medicine conducted the study, published last week in the journal Nature. With the help of artificial intelligence, the team identified a previously unknown peptide that appeared t

Ozempic and its ilk may do a lot of things, but raising the risk of suicide doesn’t appear to be one of them. Research out this week is the latest to find no evidence of a link between GLP-1 drugs and suicide. Scientists at McGill University in Canada conducted the study, published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal. They tracked the health outcomes of UK residents, and failed to find an association between GLP-1 use and an increased risk of suicidality. The findings follow other major re
