Curacle Co. Ltd. inked a potential $1.07 billion deal with U.S.-based “newco” Memento Medicines on May 10, granting the latter exclusive global rights to develop and commercialize preclinical TIE2/VEGF-directed bispecific antibody MT-103 for retinal disorders.
Seven years, almost to the day, after releasing a draft guidance on post-approval pregnancy safety studies, the U.S. FDA is now finalizing it – albeit with a few changes.
Bright Uro Inc. secured U.S. FDA 510(k) clearance for the Glean abdominal sensor, which expands the capabilities of its Glean urodynamics system to enable multichannel urodynamic studies. The new sensor will allow clinicians to perform multichannel urodynamics, capturing both abdominal and detrusor pressures without the need for catheters, supporting treatment decision-making for patients with lower urinary tract dysfunction and other urological conditions.

Shares of MBX Biosciences Inc. hit a 52-week high on preliminary phase I data for its MBX-4291, a GLP-1/GIP co-agonist prodrug for obesity. Though early and still blinded, findings from the trial showed promising efficacy, along with good tolerability and the potential for once-monthly dosing, factors that will likely be critical for MBX to compete in the crowded obesity space.

The astronauts aboard NASA's Artemis 2 mission that flew around the moon had to learn to describe their observations using language that would help lunar scientists gain a deeper understanding of the lunar environment. What they saw was a surprise to everyone.
Astronomers have employed the upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (uGMRT) and the MeerKAT radio telescope to observe a galaxy cluster known as RXCJ0232–4420. Results of the new observations, published April 29 on the arXiv pre-print server, deliver impor…
There is an old adage that goes, "you are what you eat," meaning that the food you consume helps build your body and fuel your mind. The same is true now as it ever was. When it comes to early humans, studying what they ate and how they obtained high-quality …
Comet C/2025 R3 PANSTARRS, which was only discovered last year, has been visible to stargazers in the northern hemisphere for weeks now.
Scientists can't agree on whether the Y chromosome, which has lost 97% of its genes over 300 million years, is doomed to vanish or quietly stable.
A peculiar object dubbed an 'X-ray dot' could help solve the mystery of the 'little red dots' discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope.
When it comes to flying, humans are a bunch of posers. Yes, we’ve built incredible machines capable of dragging us across oceans at 500 miles an hour, but we can’t just get up and fly on our own. Researchers in China may have found a way to trick the brain in…
Now that we’ve recently learned Neanderthals may have been just as intelligent as Homo sapiens, it suddenly makes a lot of sense that a new study found they were carrying around sophisticated tool kits, including tools made from rhinoceros teeth. According to…
The way that the sense of smell works is that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) are wired up to olfactory receptors (ORs) in the nasal epithelium, from which they send signals to the brain. Once arr…
Scientists have uncovered a hidden “stop-scratching” signal in the nervous system that tells your brain when enough scratching is enough. The discovery centers on a molecule called TRPV4, which acts like part of an internal braking system for itch relief. In …
One of the most seemingly undeniable and obvious things of our Universe could ultimately prove to be an illusion, with no true existence whatsoever.
A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous amounts of formaldehyde in the atmosphere — a telltale sign…
The “world’s oldest octopus” was actually a 300-million-year-old fossil impostor hiding its secret in tiny teeth.
New research shows ravens use memory to locate areas where wolves are likely to make kills. Instead of trailing wolf packs, the birds rely on mental maps of productive hunting grounds.
A new study presented at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna in April 2026 has put forward a striking argument: that the geometry of Hell as described in Dante Alighieri's
The motion of galaxy clusters in the distant Universe has just yielded the largest-scale test yet of the laws of gravity.
The upcoming new moon provides skywatchers with the ideal conditions to observe the Milky Way’s brilliant core, a rare opportunity not to be missed!
NASA's Webb telescope just released a new image of a distant galaxy 45 million light-years away. The image shows an extremely bright core at the center, and scientists want to explain what's actually behind it.
Ganymede is not only Jupiter's largest moon, but also the largest in our solar system and one of the few that hosts a massive ice ocean. Adding to this planet-like moon's uniqueness is the fact that among the hundreds of moons in our solar system, Ganymede is…
Researchers have successfully regenerated skeletal and connective tissue, although the new tissue was not perfectly formed. The result demonstrates a critical step forward in limb regeneration.
New analysis suggests Mercury may hold a deep diamond layer formed as its carbon-rich core slowly crystallized.
ESA and JAXA have signed an agreement to launch a mission to asteroid Apophis, marking a pivotal step in planetary defense.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made a surprising discovery about a galaxy long, long ago and far, far away: It isn't rotating. That's something only seen in the most massive, mature galaxies that are closer to us in space and time, said…
For the first time, scientists have measured the instantaneous mind-blowing power of jets blasting from a black hole.
NASA's most powerful flown ion engine produces just 237 millinewtons of thrust, roughly the weight of a sheet of paper. The 2028 SR-1 Freedom mission will quadruple that figure using a 20 kilowatt nuclear reactor, and in doing so, rewrite the cost structure o…
This dog my be big, but he is so sweet.
New research reveals groundbreaking insights about the moon’s South Pole–Aitken basin, offering Artemis a chance to sample the moon’s mantle during its 2028 mission.
No fluff. No clickbait. Just the day's most important news, distilled.
