AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAlzheimer’s Research: A study pooling genetic data from 2.8 million people identified 48 newly linked DNA regions, offering clues to the roles of immune cells and neurons in the disease. Researchers say the findings may point to future treatment targets, though genetic risk prediction remains a research tool. AI for Science: The University of Chicago and Caltech have announced a new computing network and research platform to expand the use of AI in scientific discovery. Next-Generation Batteries: U.S. researchers found that sodium metal can form directly from a solid electrolyte without creating a chemical layer tied to battery degradation, a potential advance for longer-lasting sodium batteries. Antiviral Research: A study mapped previously unknown interactions between coronavirus RNA and proteins, uncovering possible drug targets that may be harder for the virus to evade. Dinosaur Biology: Researchers report microscopic structures resembling red blood cells and the first detection of heme within them in a 115-million-year-old fossil, strengthening the case that biological molecules can survive fossilization.
