Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that recreates Elizabeth Holmes' 2016 desk setup, letting users browse a simulated iPhone and MacBook loaded with real emails, texts, slides and documents from the United States v. Holmes trial. The site also lets visitors operate a virtual version of the Theranos Edison blood-testing device.
Argenx announced the suspension of a late-stage clinical trial for its autoimmune treatment, Vyvgart, citing insufficient efficacy. The company's shares declined sharply, erasing all gains made earlier in the year.
A team led by psychiatrist Richard Lyus and researcher Florian Naudet published an analysis in Cochrane Evidence Synthesis and Methods arguing that a 2006 Iranian trial of 40 children had data flaws serious enough to undermine its reliability. They say this single study has disproportionately influenced clinical guidelines recommending fluoxetine (Prozac) for depression in children and adolescents, though they are not calling for doctors to stop prescribing it.
Late-stage clinical trial results published in the New England Journal of Medicine show patients on the highest dose of retatrutide lost an average of 25% of body weight after 80 weeks, rising to 30% after 104 weeks. More than a third of participants lost 30% or more of their weight, and the drug also improved knee osteoarthritis pain, sleep apnea symptoms, and cardiometabolic markers including blood pressure and cholesterol.
During the murder trial of former 'American Idol' contestant Caleb Flynn, prosecutors played two AI-generated love songs he had written for his mistress, Alleigha Botner. Flynn, 40, is accused of shooting his wife Ashley Flynn in their Ohio home, and the songs were introduced as evidence tied to text messages between Flynn and Botner. Courtroom footage showed onlookers, including the victim's family, visibly struggling to maintain composure as the songs played.
In a California state trial over alleged racist treatment of more than 6,000 Black workers at Tesla's Fremont factory, company attorneys argued the n-word can function as a 'term of respect and endearment.' The trial's first witness also testified that Tesla's senior counsel misrepresented themselves as state representatives before the case began, according to Electrek.
Researchers report interim results from the ongoing Algonquin study, a multicentre, open-label trial evaluating a BPd drug combination in patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. The analysis covers patients enrolled in the trial's second phase, with data collected through late October 2025 after enrollment closed in September 2022. Eligible patients had failed prior treatments including lenalidomide and proteasome inhibitors, but had not previously received pomalidomide or BCMA-targeted therapy.
Researchers gave ten older women with severe osteoporosis a single infusion of their own bone-marrow cells, which had been lab-modified to better home in on bone tissue. Before the treatment the women fractured bones roughly every one to two years; afterward, low-impact fractures dropped to about once per decade, according to a study published in Cell.
Huawei is scheduled to face a US criminal trial on charges that it violated Iran sanctions and stole trade secrets from competitors. The proceedings are set to begin just weeks before a planned meeting between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
A randomized controlled trial across 243 French high schools and 9,628 students tested giving teenagers a free one-year digital subscription to a major national newspaper and running media-literacy classes taught by teachers. Researchers tracked actual online reading behavior and found subscriptions sharply increased news consumption and even led some students to pay for subscriptions on their own nearly a year later. Students in poorer schools showed the biggest knowledge gains, and combining free access with media education produced the strongest literacy improvements, especially with experienced teachers.
Jury selection begins in a long-running federal case against Huawei Technologies, which faces charges including wire and bank fraud, trade secret theft, and violating U.S. sanctions on North Korea. Prosecutors also allege Huawei equipment helped Iran surveil protesters during 2009 demonstrations. Huawei has called the government's case 'demonstrably false' and previously sought to have it dismissed as vague and overreaching.
A jury found Duane 'Keffe D' Davis, a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips, guilty in connection with the 1996 fatal shooting of rapper Tupac Shakur. Prosecutors said Davis did not personally fire the shots but orchestrated the attack and provided the weapon his nephew Orlando Anderson used to kill Shakur.
