Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) effectively reduce body weight and improve metabolic outcomes, yet established peptide-based therapies require injections and complex manufacturing. Small-molecule GLP1RAs promise oral bioavailability and scalable manufacturing, but their selective binding to human versus rodent receptors has limited mechanistic studies. The neural circuits through which these emerging therapeutics modulate feeding behavior remain undefined, particularly in comparison to established peptide-based GLP1RAs.

Background: Understanding the diversity and distribution of fungal communities at a regional scale is important since fungi play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning. Our study used environmental metagenomics to determine fungal communities in mountainous forest soils in the central highlands of Mexico.
Methods: We used four different bioinformatic workflows to profile fungal assemblages, .
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are common and dangerous conditions that are both driven by atherosclerosis. Despite sharing many major risk factors, their disease pathophysiology is not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to better distinguish common vs.

Background: Kidney stone disease poses a significant challenge in the geriatric population. Preoperative renal function has been speculated to influence the composition of renal calculi, and consequently, the management approach. We studied the correlation between preoperative renal function and the composition of renal calculi in elderly patients, which could have implications for optimizing therapeutic strategies.

This study presents the development and characterization of high yttrium-content phosphate-based glass-ceramic microspheres for potential applications in bone cancer radiotherapy treatment. The microspheres produced via flame spheroidization, followed by sieving, revealed a lack of aggregation and a narrow size distribution (45-125 μm) achieved across different yttrium oxide to glass ratio samples. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis showed a significant increase in yttrium content within the microspheres with increasing yttrium oxide to glass ratio samples, ranging from approximately 1-39 mol % for 10Y-50Y microspheres, respectively.
