The results of a clinical trial published this week found that the active ingredient in the diabetes and weight loss medications Ozempic and Wegovy was linked with a near halving of reported pain among patients with knee osteoarthritis and obesity. The study funded by Novo Nordisk , the manufacturer of Ozempic and Wegovy, involved 407 participants taking either the active ingredient semaglutide or a placebo for 68 weeks.

Children whose parents keep them off sugar during their first two years of life have lower rates of diabetes and high blood pressure for the rest of their lives, a new study has found. That protection remains even if the children begin eating more sugar after age 2, according to findings published on Thursday in Science. Processed sugar begins to be harmful to children while they are still fetuses in utero, the scientists found.

Children who experienced sugar restrictions during their first 1,000 days after conception had up to 35% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes and as much as 20% less risk of hypertension as adults. The researchers used contemporary data from the U.K. Biobank, a database of medical histories and genetic, lifestyle and other disease risk factors, to study the effect of those early-life sugar restrictions on health outcomes of adults conceived in the U.K. just before and after the end of wartim

Researchers have created the first blueprint of the human spliceosome, the most complex and intricate molecular machine in human biology. The vast majority of human genes -- more than nine in ten -- are edited by the spliceosome. The sheer number of components involved has meant the scientific feat took more than a decade to complete. The research reveals many new drug targets that could benefit a wide spectrum of diseases including most types of cancer, neurodegenerative conditions and genetic

Scientists investigating animal viruses with potential to infect humans have identified a critical protein that could enable spillover of a family of organisms called arteriviruses. In a new study, researchers identified a protein in mammals that welcomes arteriviruses into host cells to start an infection. The team also found that an existing monoclonal antibody that binds to this protein protects cells from viral infection.

According to Bredt's rule, double bonds cannot exist at certain positions on organic molecules if the molecule's geometry deviates too far from what we learn in textbooks. This rule has constrained chemists for a century. Chemists have now shown how to make molecules that violate Bredt's rule, allowing chemists to find practical ways to make and use them in reactions.
