Description
A peptide long dismissed as harmless may be rewriting our understanding of Alzheimer's disease, while a 3.2-billion-year-old enzyme has been brought back to life in a lab to reveal how early organisms survived on a radically different Earth. Scientists have also reconstructed a life-size dinosaur nest, uncovering a hybrid incubation strategy that sets ancient oviraptors apart from any bird alive today. On the health front, new research finds that belly fat is a far stronger predictor of heart failure than BMI, and a landmark diet study suggests what you eat could measurably slow how your brain ages. Plus, ChatGPT keeps changing its answers to the same science questions — and researchers have the receipts.
