34 Scientists discover natural hormone that reverses obesity

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily 1 place · 04/16/2026 23:49 EDT

A hormone called FGF21 can reverse obesity in mice by activating a newly identified brain circuit tied to metabolism. Surprisingly, it works in the hindbrain—the same region targeted by GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy—but through a completely different mechanism. Instead of suppressing appetite, FGF21 ramps up the body’s energy burning. This insight could pave the way for more targeted weight-loss and liver disease treatments.

Препарируем Vivaldi во имя науки и нескучных обоев

В ходе моего переезда с российского софта очередь дошла и до Яндекс Браузера, коим я пользовался с момента бета тестирования и очень привык. Основным кандидатом на замену стал Vivaldi как наиболее кастомизируемый. Однако, как оказалось его кастомизации недостаточно для удовлетворения моих привычек, а именно: возможности проскроллить вверх нажав на активную вкладку и... видео‑обоев. Да, я очень к ним привык. Если с обоями еще как‑то можно было бы решить найти или... Read more

Опубликован второй выпуск Продолжения Дневника писателя, его тема: ИИ и Достоевский

Искусственный интеллект пока несовершенен, ему свойственны предвзятость, необъяснимость, а то и простое вранье, которое принято дипломатично называть «галлюцинациями». Эти проблемы актуальны и для мышления человека, поэтому люди давно изобрели способы их решения. В частности, Федор Достоевский пытался решить их в своем проекте «Дневник писателя», и будь он жив в наши дни, он предложил бы свой метод обучения ИИ.Писатель в своем творчестве использовал особенный способ рассуждений: он стремился все рассматрива Read more

Not everyone who avoids looking at their bank account is financially irresponsible. Some people grew up in households where money conversations preceded every serious conflict, and the avoidance is a nervous system trying to prevent a fight that already happened decades ago.

What looks like financial irresponsibility is often a conditioned threat response. For people who grew up with money as the prelude to every serious household conflict, avoiding the bank account isn't immaturity — it's a nervous system protecting itself from a fight that ended decades ago.

Psychology says people who always choose the aisle seat aren’t just planning for bathroom access — they’re preserving what researchers call ‘autonomous exit’: the psychological certainty that you can move whenever you need to

I’m sitting in a cafe on Pasteur Street in District 1 this morning, watching the scooters stitch their way through the intersection, and I’ve just noticed something about the guy at the next table. He took the chair closest to the door. Coffee in hand, laptop open, body angled a few degrees towards the exit. ... Read more Read more

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers propose a bold twist: dark matter might not be a single particle at all, but a mix of two different types that must interact with each other to produce detectable signals. Read more

A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted for GPUs. By combining vibrating piezoelectric components with a clever circuit layout, the system overcomes limitations of traditional designs. The prototype achieved impressive efficiency and delivered much more power than previous attempts. Though not ready for widespread use yet, it points to a promising future for high-performance computing. Read more

Perovskite solar cells shouldn’t work as well as they do—but they do. Scientists have now discovered that defects inside the material actually help, creating networks that separate and guide electric charges efficiently. Using a novel imaging method, they revealed hidden structures acting like charge “highways.” This insight could unlock even more powerful, low-cost solar cells. Read more

A strange new kind of superconductivity has been uncovered in uranium ditelluride (UTe2), where electricity flows with zero resistance—but only under extremely strong magnetic fields that should normally destroy it. Even more surprising, the superconductivity disappears at first and then dramatically reappears at even higher fields, earning it the nickname the “Lazarus phase.” Read more

Scientists have proposed a surprising new way to detect gravitational waves—by observing how they change the light emitted by atoms. These waves can subtly shift photon frequencies in different directions, leaving behind a detectable signature. The effect doesn’t change how much light atoms emit, which is why it’s gone unnoticed until now. If confirmed, this approach could lead to ultra-compact detectors using cold-atom systems. Read more

Alzheimer’s isn’t just one problem—it’s a tangled mix of biology, aging, and overall health. That’s why drugs targeting a single factor have fallen short, even as new treatments show modest benefits. Scientists are now pushing toward multi-pronged strategies, from gene editing to brain-cell rejuvenation and gut health interventions. The goal: stop treating Alzheimer’s as one disease and start tackling it as a complex system. Read more

Researchers have uncovered why a rare blood clotting disorder can occur after certain COVID-19 vaccines or adenovirus infections. The immune system can mistakenly target a normal blood protein (PF4) after confusing it with a viral protein. This triggers clotting in extremely rare cases. The breakthrough means vaccines can now be redesigned to avoid this reaction while staying effective. Read more

Losing your sense of smell might signal Alzheimer’s far earlier than expected. Scientists found that immune cells in the brain actively destroy smell-related nerve fibers after detecting abnormal signals on their surfaces. This damage begins in early stages of the disease, well before cognitive decline. The discovery could help identify at-risk patients sooner and improve treatment timing. Read more
