FDA greenlights first new gonorrhea antibiotic in decades
STAT News reports that the FDA has approved BluJepa, the first novel treatment for gonorrhea in more than 20 years, addressing the growing resistance to the lone remaining drug, ceftriaxone. Researchers say the new agent targets resistant strains that have rendered many existing antibiotics ineffective, offering a crucial tool for clinicians. The approval follows accelerated trials that demonstrated rapid bacterial clearance with a favorable safety profile.

Senate stalemate threatens ACA premium subsidies
STAT News notes that the Senate’s failure to pass either party’s bill means subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans will lapse, likely triggering a sharp premium spike for millions of enrollees next year. Four Republican senators broke ranks to support the Democratic extension plan, but the vote remained deadlocked at 51‑48. Health policy analysts warn that the loss of subsidies could push vulnerable populations back into unaffordable coverage, reigniting calls for bipartisan reform.

FDA eyes European UV filter for U.S. sunscreens
Scientific American explains that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is considering approval of bemotrizinol, a highly effective UV filter already used in European and Asian sunscreens. Advocates argue the addition would broaden protection against UVA rays, which are linked to skin aging and cancer, while critics caution about the need for thorough safety data. If adopted, the change could reshape the domestic sunscreen market and improve public health outcomes.

Blood type linked to heightened early‑stroke risk
Science Alert reveals a new study showing that individuals with blood type A have a statistically higher risk of experiencing an early ischemic stroke compared with other blood groups. The research, based on a large cohort analysis, suggests that genetic factors tied to blood antigens may influence clotting pathways. Clinicians may soon incorporate blood type into personalized risk assessments for stroke prevention.

Lilly’s retatrutide drives unprecedented weight loss, but safety concerns loom
STAT News highlights that Eli Lilly’s next‑generation obesity drug retatrutide produced an average 28.7 % body‑weight reduction in a 68‑week Phase 3 trial, the most dramatic loss recorded to date. However, the study also reported high discontinuation rates—up to 18 %—due to adverse events, raising questions about long‑term tolerability. Experts stress the need for balanced evaluation of efficacy versus safety before the drug can become a mainstream therapy.

Longevity predictor outshines diet and exercise, study says
Science Alert reports that a single biomarker—telomere length combined with epigenetic age—proved a stronger predictor of lifespan than traditional lifestyle factors such as diet or physical activity. The longitudinal analysis of thousands of participants showed that those with “younger” biological ages lived significantly longer, regardless of lifestyle choices. Researchers suggest this could shift preventive health strategies toward molecular monitoring.

Cutting‑Edge Science Discoveries
JWST spots “monster stars” leaking nitrogen, clues to early black holes
Live Science describes how the James Webb Space Telescope identified massive “monster stars” in galaxy GS 3073, each weighing between 1,000 and 10,000 solar masses and emitting copious nitrogen. Astronomers propose that the rapid nitrogen release signals a pathway to forming the supermassive black holes observed less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The discovery offers a tangible link between early stellar evolution and cosmic structure formation.

Asgard archaea may hold the key to eukaryotic origins
ScienceNews.org details a breakthrough study of Asgard archaea, microorganisms whose genomes contain genes previously thought unique to eukaryotes. By analyzing samples from deep‑sea hydrothermal vents, scientists uncovered molecular machinery that could have facilitated the emergence of complex, nucleus‑bearing cells. This finding reshapes evolutionary theory and hints at how life’s complexity may have arisen on early Earth—and perhaps elsewhere.

Rivercane revival stabilizes Southern streams against floods
Grist reports that large‑scale planting of native rivercane in Alabama’s Tuckabum Creek dramatically reduced bank erosion during a subsequent 9‑foot river rise. The dense root network acts like a natural “soil‑cement,” holding sediments in place and providing habitat for native species. Conservationists view the project as a scalable, low‑cost nature‑based solution to the South’s increasing flood risk.

Colorado River water effectively subsidised, sparking efficiency worries
Inside Climate News reveals a UCLA‑NRDC report showing that roughly 25 % of Colorado River water is provided at virtually no cost to agricultural users, thanks to federal subsidies. The artificially low price encourages over‑use, threatening water security for the 40 million people and 5.5 million acres that depend on the river. Policymakers are urged to reform pricing to promote conservation amid climate‑driven scarcity.
