Flu drugs might fight cognitive decline seen in HIV, early study hints

Flu drugs might fight cognitive decline seen in HIV, early study hints A very early study suggests flu antivirals might help reverse certain signs of accelerated aging in people with HIV. But more research is needed to confirm these effects. Flu drugs may help ward off the low-grade inflammation and related cognitive decline that can come with HIV infection, an early study suggests.

Did ChatGPT put children at risk? Why Florida has sued OpenAI and Sam Altman

Florida has become the first US state to sue OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of knowingly releasing and aggressively marketing ChatGPT despite what it describes as serious risks to children and the public. The lawsuit, filed Monday in Florida’s Tenth Circuit Court, alleges that OpenAI concealed known dangers associated with its AI chatbot while prioritising growth and profits over user safety. “Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of...

Tiny membrane tethers revealed as key to plant cell survival in drought

Tiny membrane tethers revealed as key to plant cell survival in drought Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, industrious roots that find hard-to-reach water sources. While such responses are obvious to the naked eye, we know little about how responses to environmental...

Flatworms reveal exploding immune cells that kill surrounding tissue

Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular detonation so fast and complete that the cell vanishes within minutes, leaving no trace behind. This discovery comes from an unlikely source: planarian flatworms. These aquatic, slithering pancake versions of worms are famous for their ability to survive dismemberment and grow whole new organisms from the sliced-up segments of their formerly unified body.

Leap in DNA synthesis slashes time to build new genetic sequences

A new method for writing DNA promises to unlock the potential of generative AI in biology, giving scientists a fast, affordable, and accurate way to physically build the novel genetic sequences that predictive models are now producing faster than anyone can construct them. The technique, called Sidewinder, can assemble dozens of genetic sequences simultaneously in a single test tube, producing just one incorrect junction for every 10 million assembly events—a level of precision that far...

UK media fails to disclose defence sector links in nearly 60% of cases

Executive summary This report reveals how retired senior British military figures are frequently presented in the UK media as purely independent experts on defence and security matters without mention of their personal commercial and employment interests in the defence, technology, intelligence, and security sectors in those reports. By analysing media reports between 2015 and May 2026, AOAV identified a repeated pattern where almost 60% of former key military personnel with links to the...

DNA had one rule. Bacteria didn’t get the memo

Bacteria didn’t get the memo June 1, 2026Your DNA has never been created from scratch. Think of it like a recipe — passed down from parent to child over countless generations, all the way back 4 billion years to the earliest life on Earth. With tweaks and changes accumulating along the way, but always copied from something that already existed.
