How Does Ozempic Really Work? Yale Study Finds a Surprising Brain Mechanism

A Yale study has uncovered a surprising clue about how semaglutide may produce sustained weight loss. In female mice, chronic treatment recruited brain neurons normally associated with hunger, while disrupting those neurons impaired weight-lowering effects. The findings suggest GLP-1 drugs may influence more than appetite alone, although researchers have not yet established whether the same mechanism occurs in humans.

Scientists Identify a Surprising Brain-Repair Mechanism in Living Mice

Researchers at the University of Zurich used live imaging in mice to track a group of astrocytes repairing small brain lesions. The cells extended projections into damaged tissue and transported newly formed nuclei along them, a process the team says revises assumptions about astrocyte replacement. The work has not tested a human treatment.
