AI Biosecurity Alarm: Stanford/Arc researchers say they designed 16 functional bacteriophage genomes with generative AI, but critics warn it’s a dangerous step toward AI-built pathogens. Health Tech: Case Western and NIH back a rapid, chairside oral cancer test using a fluorescence immunoassay from swabs. Veterinary AI Limits: AI stethoscopes may miss heart issues in cats and be unreliable on rhythms, showing human-trained tools don’t always transfer. Public Health Mystery: Chandipura virus deaths hit 25 in Gujarat; massive screening of sandflies, mosquitoes and ticks found no known carrier, deepening uncertainty about spread. Obesity Biology: A review ties obesity to cellular stress, oxidative damage, and NRF2–unfolded protein response signaling as a potential treatment target. Chemicals & Safety: Lab work links vanillin in vapes to harm in early development, prompting calls for ingredient disclosure. Materials for Water: UK researchers use freeze-drying to make MOF production cheaper and more energy-efficient for lead removal. Sustainable Industry: ELITe’s recycled PET resin gets another major sports-brand LoI for up to 15,000 MT annually. Energy Transition: KBR selected for Morocco’s low-cost ammonia project, targeting 560,000 tons a year. Science Policy: A biodiversity treaty for the high seas is now in force, but scientists say most deep-sea species remain unknown.
