What we have so far
Hot flushes come from a specific set of hypothalamic neurons, and blocking their receptor stops them without hormones — the first new mechanism in decades.
This star is on the map because the show intends to take the question apart properly — the trials, how it is actually tested, whether the thing sold is the thing studied. That work is not done yet, and nothing here should be read as a conclusion. When the investigation is published it will appear on this page.
