World HUPO 2025 When HUPO picked Toronto for its 24th World Congress, I imagined crisp fall air by the lake and the usual conference hustle. I did not expect fat, storybook snowflakes drifting past the lobby windows in mid-November. But somehow, the snow fit. Inside, “One Health Powered by Proteomics” framed four days of talks, posters, and hallway debates about humans, animals, microbes, and environments as one interconnected system, echoing the One Health idea that human, animal and environmental wellbeing are inseparable. Outside, the city was wrapped in white, and the congress itself felt surprisingly cozy for a truly global…
The first humans arrived upon the landmass now known as Australia around 60,000 years ago along two distinct routes, according to a new genomics study.The question of when humans first arrived on the continent is contentious among archaeologists. Some cite previous genetic evidence that suggests dates of around 45 to 50,000 years ago, while others suggest the southern landmass may have been peopled as early as 65,000 years ago.The new study, based on almost 2,500 sets of mitochondrial DNA from indigenous peoples of Australia, New Guinea, Oceania, and Southeast Asia, adds further support to an earlier arrival date, while also…
The WHO warns that the current production levels of GLP-1 therapies are insufficient to equitably provide care for the billion people suffering from obesity. While advocating the long-term use of these medications, it calls for health care systems to focus on person-centered care with fair access to treatments. As the WHO approves the long-term use of GLP-1 (over six months), it also suggests combining it with intensive behavioral therapy (IBT). This involves creating structured goals for exercise and diet, restricting energy intake, receiving weekly counseling, and conducting routine progress assessments. This new guidance on the use and indications of GLP-1 therapies…
Together, silver nanoparticles and phages killed bacteria more effectively. The conjugate offers a new solution for fighting antibiotic resistance.Image credit:©iStock, adventtrAntibiotic resistance is a major public health issue, so researchers are constantly looking for new solutions to tackle this problem. Two candidates with bactericidal properties that are not traditional antibiotic molecules have gained traction: bacteriophages and silver nanoparticles. Damayanti Bagchi is a material chemist who led the study on the development of bactericidal phage-silver nanoparticle conjugates. At the time, she was a postdoctoral researcher in molecular biologist Irene Chen’s laboratory at the University of California, Los Angeles. Damayanti BagchiIn a…
Over 1.5 million bags of shredded cheese were recalled due to metal contamination.The mozzarella cheese products were sold at Aldi, Publix, Target, Walmart and more.Sixty-four different products are being affected, and they were sold in 32 states and regions. There’s an active recall on over 1.5 million bags of cheese, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is due to a potential foreign matter contamination. The bags of cheese being recalled were sold at popular grocery stores across 32 states and regions. Chains affected include Aldi, Food Lion, H-E-B, Publix, Sprouts Farmers Market, Target, Walmart and more.…
NADMED introduces a $30,000 research award to support scientists exploring the metabolic signals that shape health, aging and disease. As researchers race to understand how cells generate energy, age, malfunction and recover, one area has remained notoriously difficult to measure: redox metabolites, the chemical signals that reveal a cell’s real-time metabolic state. Now, Finnish biotech company NADMED is launching a new initiative to change that trajectory. The NADMED Award 2026 is a global program offering up to $30,000 in metabolomics technology and expert collaboration. The goal is to give scientists, clinicians and biotech innovators the tools they need to uncover…
Ritz recalls 20-count peanut butter cracker sandwiches in eight states.This is due to mislabeling and allergen risk; some peanut butter packs are mislabeled as cheese.The recall follows the July 2025 recall for the same product in different pack sizes. A recall on Ritz products sold in eight states was just announced, according to a company announcement. This is due to mislabeling resulting in an undeclared peanut allergen. The crackers affected are the 20-count, 27.6-ounce boxes Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches. These snacks have a printed UPC of “44000 07584 2,” best-by date January 8 or 15, 2026, and a plant…
