Summary

Scientists have uncovered a hidden gut-brain circuit that physically rewires your food cravings based on what your body actually needs — and it's changing everything we thought we knew about appetite and nutrition. A new NIH-funded study has also revealed the surprising brain mechanism behind why GLP-1 weight-loss drugs work, pointing to uses far beyond shedding pounds. In cancer research, a completely unexpected immune cell behavior has been discovered that could reshape the future of immunotherapy. Meanwhile, NASA scientists are still puzzling over a solar radio burst that lasted an unprecedented nineteen straight days, and astrobiologists are sounding the alarm that we may already be sitting on evidence of alien life — and missing it entirely.
