GLP-1 drugs can help people lose weight by quelling hunger queues. Nature reports on the work by scientists testing if these drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids. 🧪
Will blockbuster obesity drugs revolutionize addiction treatment?
Scientists are testing whether GLP-1 drugs can help to cut cravings for cigarettes, alcohol and opioids — as well as food.

Denmark just mapped its entire environmental microbiome. More than 10,000 samples revealing hidden, dominant nitrifiers that shape fertilizer use, water quality, and climate impact. A national microbiome atlas could transform sustainable agriculture across Europe.
