Jerusalem, June 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new study identifies vgll3 as a key gene that promotes rapid growth and early reproduction while increasing the risk of aging and cancer later in life. The findings provide rare experimental evidence for the theory that evolution favors early-life advantages even at the expense of long-term health. Researchers say the discovery could open new paths for understanding, and potentially separating, the biological links between development, aging, and disease.

Jerusalem, April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- New study shows that modern AI systems don’t just process information, they systematically “judge” people in ways that resemble human trust, but with important differences. Like humans, they favor competence and integrity, yet they do so in a more rigid, rule-based, and often more extreme way. Crucially, their judgments can also be more consistently biased across demographic traits and vary significantly between models. The bottom line: AI can mimic the structure of human judgment, but it does not think like humans, and that gap matters when these systems are used to make real decisions about people.
