Dietitians say you don’t have to avoid starchy veggies if you’re trying to lose weight. Many starchy veggies, like corn, butternut squash and potatoes, provide filling fiber. Peas are rich in slowly digested protein, which also promotes satiety.

Synaffix, a Lonza company focused on commercializing its clinical-stage platform technology for the development of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), entered into a licensing agreement with Qurient, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in South Korea, for the development of a dual-payload ADC.

The placenta, with its branching blood vessels, is the interface where maternal and fetal cells meet to determine how far the placenta can implant into the uterine wall.Image credit:© shutterstock.com, ScieProPregnancy has long been framed as an evolutionary tug-of-war. The fetus presses for resources, while the mother mounts defenses to limit invasive placentation. A new study in PNAS challenges that view, reframing placental implantation as “coopetition,” a game-theory term for simultaneous competition and cooperation in the hope of mutually beneficial results.1 The shift could explain why some pregnancies succeed or fail, offering clues to disorders like preeclampsia.“It started out as…
