AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoPeptide Policy: The US is easing restrictions on six unproven peptides, allowing some pharmacists to compound them with prescriptions. FDA scientists opposed the move, and regulators warn these drugs do not undergo the same safety and effectiveness checks as approved medicines. Coral Crisis: A global assessment finds 24% of shallow-water coral reef ecosystems are already critically endangered; with climate-driven heat stress, 96% could reach that status within 50 years. Physics: Researchers say ultraviolet lasers produced X-rays beyond a long-standing energy limit, as interacting electrons released energy together. Medical Sensors: A new electrode technique can distinguish multiple chemical reactions with extreme sensitivity, a step that could support earlier disease detection. Space: Vera Rubin Observatory images revealed a candidate dwarf planet beyond Pluto, estimated at 600 to 1,500 kilometres wide. Ebola Vaccines: Regulators say some repeat animal safety tests could be waived for well-studied vaccine technologies, potentially speeding trials of a vaccine for the Bundibugyo strain.
