News at a glance: A win for obesity drugs, NIH unionization roadblocks, and Mexican fireflies under threat
CONSERVATION Researchers raise alarm over threat to Mexican fireflies Scientists from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) last week delivered a letter to the Mexican government requesting it regulate tourism centered on the threatened firefly species Photinus palaciosi . Endemic to Mexico’s Tlaxcala forests, P. palaciosi is one of the few species that glow in synchrony, offering an annual spectacle that attracts thousands of visitors during summer mating season. The letter describes how littering, artificial light, and noise interfere with the insects’ courtship and eg...

HIV researcher will head NIH ’s infectious disease institute
The infectious disease institute at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) will soon have its first new chief in nearly 4 decades. Jeanne Marrazzo, an expert on sexually transmitted infections, will become director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in the fall. She will succeed Anthony Fauci, who stepped down in December 2022 after 38 years at NIAID’s helm. Marrazzo, 61, currently directs the Division of Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). A physician and epidemiologist, she has expertise in HIV prevention, vaginal infections, horm...

Senate panel approves 2% bump for NIH budget in 2024
To the relief of biomedical research advocates, a Senate spending panel has approved a modest budget increase of 2% for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The bump to $47.8 billion roughly matches President Joe Biden’s request for the 2024 fiscal year that begins this fall. Although below the rate of biomedical inflation, it is far more generous than a corresponding House of Representatives bill that would slash NIH’s budget by 6% . Advocacy groups welcomed the measure approved on 27 July by the Senate appropriations committee. “The Committee laid down an important marker for the appropriations...

Explainer: Why the U.S. has banned funding for Chinese lab at center of pandemic origin dispute
In a move that has more symbolic than practical impact, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has imposed new sanctions on a Chinese lab at the center of the debate about the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic. A nine-page HHS memo made public by a House subcommittee that ’s investigating the pandemic ’s origin suspends and proposes debarment of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) “from participating in United States Federal Government procurement and nonprocurement programs.” In effect, this bars WIV from receiving U.S. government funding now and possibly ever. The ...

News at a glance: Muscular dystrophy therapy, lab-grown chicken, and humans ’ toll on wildlife
BIOMEDICINE Muscular dystrophy therapy approved The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the first gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a genetic disease that cripples boys and usually results in death by age 30. The treatment from Sarepta Therapeutics introduces a short version of the gene for dystrophin, a crucial muscle protein, which is mutated in patients with DMD. A one-time intravenous infusion of a virus delivers the functioning “microdystrophin” gene into patients’ muscle cells. The 22 June approval is only for boys 4 to 5 years old, a group that appeared likely to ben...

Industry –sponsored research funding to allergists and clinical immunologists in the United States
Although allergist-immunologists have been facing difficulties to obtain funding for research and educational purposes from the public sector in the United States, there is a growing research collaboration and network between physicians and health care industry in the field of allergy and immunology. Research funding for asthma from the National Institutes of Health slightly decreased from $317 million in 2008 to $313 million in 2019.1 Establishing proper collaborations between physicians and the industry is crucial for improving patient care.

NIH restarts bat virus grant suspended 3 years ago by Trump
Three years after then-President Donald Trump pressured the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to suspend a research grant to a U.S. group studying bat coronaviruses with partners in China, the agency has restarted the award. The new 4-year grant is a stripped-down version of the original grant to the EcoHealth Alliance, a nonprofit research organization in New York City, providing $576,000 per year. That 2014 award included funding for controversial experiments that mixed parts of different bat viruses related to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), the coronavirus that sparked a global outbreak in 2002–04, a...

Science takes back seat to politics in first House hearing on origin of COVID-19 pandemic
Some scientists and legislators might have hoped this morning’s U.S. congressional hearing on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic would move beyond partisan politics and seriously investigate what has become a deeply divisive debate . But members of the House of Representatives’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic mostly hammered home long-standing Republican or Democratic talking points, shedding no new light on the central question: Did SARS-CoV-2 naturally jump from animals to humans or did the virus somehow leak from a laboratory in Wuhan, China? “It was very disappointing, and almost unbe...
