AI Fuels Cancer Therapy, But Scams Emerge

Demand for weight-loss drugs like GLP-1s has surged in the last year, with user numbers more than doubling since 2024, according to Vox. This rapid expansion has led to the emergence of new side effects, including a mysterious symptom that is now being investigated.

The increasing popularity of GLP-1s, which were heavily advertised during the Super Bowl, has spurred a need for more research into their long-term effects, as reported by Vox. While fatigue and nausea are common side effects, a clinical psychologist, Dr. Sera Lavelle, has noticed other emerging issues.

Concurrently, the field of medicine continues to advance. Recent news, synthesized from multiple sources, highlights breakthroughs in cell therapy for autoimmune disorders and cancer treatment, as reported by Vox and Nature News. These advancements, alongside studies on the health benefits of kefir and fiber, demonstrate the ongoing evolution of medical science.

In other news, a correction was issued to a Nature article regarding colorectal cancer research. Extended Data Fig. 8, which displayed images related to EGFR blockade response, was found to contain an error. The original image was inadvertently duplicated during figure preparation, according to Nature News. The corrected version, now containing the appropriate image, is available as a supplement.

The news cycle also includes a variety of other topics, including delays in NASA's Artemis mission and rising gas prices, as reported by Vox and Nature News. Additionally, discussions on AI's impact on music and the rise of weight-loss drugs are ongoing. The EPA's policy changes and the cyclical nature of technological advancements, including the shift from CPUs to GPUs and LLMs, are also being discussed, according to Nature News.
