Argininosuccinate Signal Fuels Carbon Replenishment in Leukaemia Cells
A metabolic signalling axis that scientists had long overlooked may be helping one of the most stubborn blood cancers keep itself alive. In a study...
Leaky oocytes propagate cGAS–STING signaling
The aging of the female reproductive system has long been framed as a simple problem of depletion: women are born with a finite pool of...
Engineered ocean bacteria could supercharge CO2 removal by dissolving rocks
One of the planet’s oldest carbon-removal technologies has just received a biological upgrade. Rock weathering, the slow chemical reaction in which rainwater and seawater dissolve...
Ironing out the wrinkles
Solar-cell researchers have spent much of the past decade pushing perovskite photovoltaics from laboratory curiosities toward commercial viability, and the latest milestone comes from an...
Silent fMRI Framework Captures Brain-Wide Networks in Behaving Mice
For decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging has offered scientists an unmatched window into the human brain, revealing whole-brain networks at work without a single incision....
Beyond Flood Control: A Scoping Review Deciphering the Co-benefits of Nature-Based Flood Risk Reduction for Healthy Ageing in China
China’s Sponge City program was conceived as an engineering answer to a hydrological problem: how to keep rapidly expanding urban areas from drowning under increasingly...
Age-specific time-spent patterns among residents living near gold mine tailings storage facilities in the West Rand, South Africa
In the mining towns scattered across South Africa’s West Rand, a quiet but consequential question sits at the intersection of environmental health and everyday life:...
Glowing Social Media Posts About City Life May Mask Depression Risk
A sweeping new analysis of millions of Chinese social media posts has uncovered a counterintuitive signal in the digital language of depression: people at risk...
Neonatal Transfers Differ by Race and Ethnicity in Very Low Birth Weight Infants
When a baby is born weighing very little, the hospital where that baby first receives care can shape the entire course of their life. Very...
AI Could Transform Early Detection of Pulmonary Hypertension in Newborns
Pulmonary hypertension in newborn infants is one of the most elusive and dangerous conditions in neonatal medicine, and a new commentary published in Pediatric Research...
Delayed Forest Regrowth After Mining Deepens Tropical Carbon Losses, 23-Year Study Finds
Tropical forests have long been celebrated as the planet’s most powerful living carbon sinks, storing hundreds of tonnes of carbon per hectare in towering trunks,...
Fibroblasts With a Stem Cell Marker Help Skin Adapt to Mechanical Stress
Skin is the body’s first line of defense and its most resilient mechanical shield, stretched, compressed, and sheared thousands of times a day without failing....
Ultrasound Pulses Steer the Heart’s Rhythm Under Live Imaging Guidance
The heart has always been the organ that medicine approaches with the greatest caution. Its rhythm is generated by delicate electrical circuits, and disturbing those...
Scientists Watch Light Supercharge Hydrogen Reactions on Platinum, Atom by Atom
In a result that could reshape how chemists think about catalysis, researchers have now achieved something once thought beyond the reach of experimental science: watching,...
