🔬 A Fentanyl Vaccine That Stops Future Designer Drugs Too — Plus New Universes Inside Dying Stars

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

Researchers are developing a fentanyl vaccine designed to neutralize not just fentanyl but future synthetic opioid variants before they can trigger an overdose — a potential turning point in America's overdose crisis. New findings on GLP-1 weight loss drugs like Ozempic reveal a surprising and counterintuitive side effect that could change how doctors approach treatment. Scientists have uncovered a hidden cellular backup system that biology wasn't supposed to have, alongside the first-ever atomic-level images of a critical DNA repair enzyme that could unlock new cancer therapies. On the neurological front, promising early research points toward new treatment angles for both Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. And in the cosmos, a bold new theory suggests that collapsing stars may not always create black holes — and that the universe itself may be keeping a record of everything that has ever happened.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
