Machine-learning-designed rhodopsins absorbing near 410 nm enhanced bacterial growth under blue light, with proton pumping inferred but never directly measured.
Preprint Β· Quality 70%
Observational cancer-protection signals rest on AMPK data generated at metformin doses far above clinical plasma levels; randomized trials later sided against the epidemiology.

A UK cohort (N=8,913) shows a near-zero direct effect of social media use on distress, with significant indirect paths via distrust, sleep timing, and body image.

True ASD incidence is likely 30β60 per 10,000, with most of the rise attributed to ascertainment and broadened criteria; no epidemiological support for MMR or thimerosal.

Loneliness predicted cognitive decline and Alzheimer's risk over 65 months in 823 older adults, yet was unrelated to neuropathology at autopsy.

A proposed three-arm trial would test whether conscious psychedelic experience is necessary for antidepressant effects; it remains a protocol with n=9 planned and no data.
Proposal Β· Quality 60%
High-activity MAOA buffered court-documented maltreatment effects in white participants but not non-white participants, anticipating ancestry-dependent biomarker validity issues.

Cryptic Kota/Kurumba substructure and a rare North Asian mtDNA lineage are reported with no autosomal Northeast Asian affinity; no data or code availability statement exists.
Preprint Β· Quality 60%
A preprint reports SKN-1βdependent fat gain and shorter lifespan in worms, with non-monotonic doses and classic worm-assay confounds unaddressed.
Preprint Β· Quality 50%
A preprint proposes the histone mark H2Aub acts as a glucose-starvation glutamine reserve, supported only by pharmacology in one cell line with n=2 proteomics replicates.
Preprint Β· Quality 50%
Helminth therapy, maggot debridement, and leech therapy are synthesized with genuine molecular detail, but underlying evidence is almost entirely preclinical.

Oral globin digest promotes hypertrophy across zebrafish, mouse, and C2C12 models; the peptide-relay mechanism is inferential, with corporate conflicts of interest disclosed.
Preprint Β· Quality 60%
A CDC minireview finds H5N1 can reach mammalian gut tissue and raw-milk ingestion can establish infection in animals; human risk is judged low but theoretically possible.

Merchant's critique argues in vitro BNT162b2 reverse transcription in Huh7 cells is unlikely to translate in vivo, while offering no new experimental data itself.

Equilibrium modeling explains cytosine and thymine absence from meteorites via deamination and oxidation β a testable prediction for pristine Ryugu/Bennu samples.

Symbiont-expressed dsRNA reduces Nosema ceranae replication and improves honey bee survival in a high-novelty PNAS study with small forager sub-samples.

Influenza triggers COMB-mediated Complex III suppression in macrophages, cutting ROS and inflammation in mouse-derived cells; human macrophage confirmation is pending.

Dipeptide repeat proteins inhibit GEM body formation in ALS iPSC models, tying RAN-translation products to RNA granule pathology without in vivo validation.

Work spans DNA renaturation kinetics and a TMLE-based multicenter bladder cancer protocol; the clinical study exists only as a protocol, with no reported results.

PBDβciprofloxacin hybrids show promising in vitro activity against M. tuberculosis, with Gyrase A inhibition inferred from modeling rather than proven biochemically.

Abrupt stiffness interfaces in GelMA hydrogels drive perpendicular fibroblast alignment and localized Ξ±SMA upregulation, but only in a single in vitro cell model.

A deep-learning framework demixes identically labeled organelles from single-channel images using nanoscale texture, reaching up to 0.96 SSIM with limits in heterogeneous environments.
Preprint claim
High-LET iron radiation induces persistent DNA methylation changes tied to 3D genome organization; the lead author is a declared Genegoggle cofounder and shareholder.
COI declared
A 2026 systematic review of 50 studies finds ~80% reporting significant links to depressive symptoms, while causality and dose-response remain uncertain due to unvalidated self-report.
Correlational evidence
Only one high-quality MMRβASD case-control study is available in the record (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.68β1.09); pooling beyond that would exceed the actual evidence base.
No pooled estimate
Consistent rodent wound-healing and cytoprotective effects via VEGFR2/ERK signaling coexist with fewer than 30 humans ever studied and zero randomized controlled trials.
