A recent study suggests that many women find men with a larger belly more attractive than those with gym abs. Researchers from various universities examined physical preferences and found that softer features often signal comfort and reliability. This research indicates that women may associate a larger midsection with a less aggressive personality and a better capacity for emotional connection. Scientists believe these findings challenge traditional beauty standards portrayed in popular media. The report highlights that personality and physical comfort play significant roles in modern dating dynamics. This data offers a new perspective on how human attraction works beyond strictly athletic body types. The study concludes that confidence and a friendly appearance are highly valued traits in long term partners.

Scientists have successfully engineered the world's first 'universal' kidney by using enzymes to strip blood-type markers, potentially ending the life-threatening wait for matching organ donors.

In a groundbreaking medical trial, researchers from Canada and China have utilized specialized enzymes to strip the blood-type markers from a donated Type A kidney, effectively converting it into a 'universal' Type O organ. The modified kidney was transplanted into a brain-dead patient with family consent, where it functioned successfully for several days. This experiment marks a historic bridge between laboratory science and clinical care, proving that it is possible to 'cloak' an organ's identity to prevent immediate immune rejection due to blood-type incompatibility.

The implications for the global organ shortage are massive. Currently, 11 people die every day in the U.S. waiting for a kidney, and those with Type O blood often face the longest wait times because they can only receive organs from Type O donors. While this study noted that blood-type markers began to reappear by the third day, the significantly reduced immune response provides a roadmap for the future. Perfecting this technology could eliminate the need for costly immunosuppression and months of preparation, turning every donated kidney into a potential match for any patient on the waitlist.

Researchers have reported early success with an oral drug designed for individuals who carry two copies of the high‑risk APOE4 gene variant, which greatly increases the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease. In a phase 3 trial, participants with early symptoms of memory decline who received this pill, called valiltramiprosate (also known by the code ALZ‑801), showed slower brain shrinkage and signs of reduced neurodegeneration compared to those on placebo. The benefit was particularly notable in people at the stage of mild cognitive impairment, just before full‑blown dementia.

The drug works by preventing the formation of tiny toxic clumps (oligomers) of the amyloid protein in the brain, which are thought to trigger Alzheimer’s long before major symptoms appear. Unlike antibody infusions that target plaques after they have already formed, this oral therapy aims to intervene earlier in the disease process. The trial did not hit its main endpoint across all participants, but the subgroup of high genetic risk patients at the very early stage did seem to get meaningful benefits. Researchers emphasise that timing and patient selection are key to the effectiveness.

While this development offers hope, experts caution that this is not yet a cure and the findings need to be replicated. Also, the industry is still learning how best to use genetic risk profiles in treatment decisions. If future studies confirm these results, using pills tailored to genetic high‑risk groups could become a new approach in Alzheimer’s care, shifting from treating symptoms to preventing damage early.
