Dental implications of GLP-1 receptor obesity medicines

The study of the oral effects of medications is of utmost importance in an aging multi-morbid yet dentate population. Obesity treatment medicines such as GLP-1 receptor agonists Wegovy and Mounjaro are now widely prescribed due to the high prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the UK and beyond. Read more

Eigenvalues of functional difference operators associated to mirror curves (Ref: MA/LS-SF1/2026)

Toric Calabi–Yau manifolds play an important role in mathematical physics. Their mirror manifolds can be described by algebraic curves and recently it was observed that quantisation of these curves leads to functionaldifference operators. Read more
