New paper out in @cellpressblue ! We found that reintroducing refined starch after weight loss activates the innate immune system through the complement pathway, while sugar has the opposite effect. With @eze_dantas , @davidludwigmd , CaraEbbeling, @CantleyLab , and team. 🧵

New at #ESMO2026 AVEO's anti-GDF-15 antibody, rilogrotug. Phase 1b dose escalation (NCT05865535), 50 to 800 mg alongside standard cancer therapy. Weight gain and improved appetite through week 12 at all doses. @MDRoeland @OHSUKnight

By every measure, Opus 4.8 beats human experts as peer reviewers in a study of 124 Harvard social science papers covering a range from statistical analyses to formal models to qualitative work. As academics, we need to figure out how to adapt the practice of science to AI, fast.

Caveats: single-arm, single institution, n=16, no control group. Authors say: this does not show glutamine + chemo beats chemo alone. OS follow-up still immature. Dose was supervised, clinical-grade. Interesting signal that needs an RCT.
