Blast fishing leaves reefs in ruins that can’t heal on their own. The explosions break coral into tiny, shifting fragments that never settle, preventing new growth. Even decades later, these reefs remain unstable. Real recovery, scientists say, starts with stabilizing the rubble

Researchers have uncovered a brain “hunger switch”: the protein MRAP2 helps the appetite receptor MC4R reach the cell surface, boosting “stop eating” signals. This natural mechanism could lead to new therapies for obesity, helping regulate hunger and improve metabolic health.
