Wexner’s Epstein Ties Put OSU’s Donor Legacy in the Spotlight

A long-form piece ties Les Wexner to Jeffrey Epstein, detailing Epstein’s control over parts of Wexner’s wealth, Wexner’s substantial donations to Ohio State University (including naming rights on OSU facilities and a new hospital), and renewed pressure as lawmakers seek his deposition and as survivors and critics push to remove his name; Wexner denies knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and says he cut ties in 2007, while OSU faces lawsuits and scrutiny over past donors.

"Exploring Promising Drug Treatments for Alzheimer's Disease"

Ohio State University researchers are conducting a drug trial for Lecanemab, a drug that slows the progression of Alzheimer's symptoms, to see if it can prevent the disease from developing in high-risk individuals. NBC4 Anchor Colleen Marshall, at high risk due to her family history, volunteered for the study but did not qualify due to low amyloid levels. The drug is currently approved for those with mild Alzheimer's, and researchers are exploring its potential for high-risk individuals before symptoms appear.

"Study Warns: New Covid Variant More Deadly Than Earlier Versions"

A new study from The Ohio State University suggests that the BA.2.86 Covid variant, a mutation of the Omicron BA.2 subvariant, may be more deadly and efficient at infecting human lung cells than previous versions. The variant has been linked to a resurgence in hospital admissions, with concerns about its potential to cause more severe lower respiratory infections. However, despite lab tests indicating increased severity, official data has not reflected this. The bivalent booster vaccine has been found to be effective at neutralizing BA.2.86, explaining why it has not caused a significant wave of infections.

"Groundbreaking Cancer Treatments: Unveiling Promising Therapies and Targeting Undruggable Proteins"

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital have opened a Proton Therapy Center, offering a "game changer" cancer treatment that minimizes damage to healthy cells and organs. The $100 million facility provides proton therapy for adults and children battling cancer, allowing patients in central Ohio to receive treatment closer to home. Proton therapy is especially important for pediatric patients, as it tailors radiation to the tumor's shape and reduces exposure to normal organs. The center also focuses on researching and developing other advanced treatments.

"Former Ohio State Wrestlers Accuse Jim Jordan of Betrayal, Question His Candidacy for House Speaker"

Four former Ohio State University wrestlers who have accused Rep. Jim Jordan of failing to protect them from a sexual predator when he was their assistant coach in the 1980s and '90s have criticized his bid to become the next House speaker. They argue that Jordan's failure to stand up for them disqualifies him from the position. The allegations add a new dimension to the speaker race and could continue to haunt Jordan, even if he becomes speaker, as he may be deposed in one of the ongoing lawsuits against the university. Jordan has repeatedly denied any knowledge of the sexual abuse by the team doctor, Richard Strauss.

COVID-19 Mutating in Deer and Spreading to Humans, US Study Finds

A study conducted by Ohio State University has found that the COVID-19 virus is mutating in white-tailed deer, with over 10% of nasal swabs collected from deer in Ohio testing positive for the virus. Genetic analysis revealed that at least 30 of these infections in deer were transmitted from humans. Deer can carry the virus for up to nine months, potentially allowing for further replication and mutation. This highlights the need for continued vigilance and response efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 between humans and animals.
