Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and age-related macular degeneration

About The Study: In this cohort study, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use was associated with reduced risk of developing nonexudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD) but was not associated with progression to exudative AMD among individuals with nonexudative AMD. These findings may inform future randomized trials evaluating the ocular effects of GLP-1RAs in nondiabetic populations.

A “seating chart” for atoms helps locate their positions in materials

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The new discrete grid imaging technique, or DIGIT, enables optical microscopes to resolve individual atoms and zero in on their exact locations in a crystal structure. The research could help guide the design of quantum devices and provide new insights into how defects and impurities shape the behavior of advanced materials.
