Author Correction: Trained immunity connects aging hematopoietic stem cells with inflammation
A small correction to a paper in Nature Aging has drawn renewed attention to a major question in biology: how does aging in the blood-forming...
FGFR2-Rearranged Cholangiocarcinoma Highlights the Need for Precision Trial Design
Cholangiocarcinoma, a cancer arising in the bile ducts, has become an unexpected test of whether precision oncology can deliver on its central promise: matching the...
Proteomics Identifies Carboxypeptidase E as Potential Biomarker for Synucleinopathies
Synucleinopathies, a group of progressive neurological disorders that includes Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy, may have acquired a new molecular...
Study classifies flexible loads and optimizes demand response in cascade gate-pumping systems
Cascade gate-pumping systems rarely attract public attention, yet they quietly perform one of the most energy-intensive jobs in modern water infrastructure: moving enormous volumes of...
Teaching Robots Universal Grasping Through Contact Learning in Cluttered Real-World Environments
A new robotic grasping system has demonstrated a striking ability to move between radically different robot hands without being retrained for each one. Called SpaHybGen,...
New Generative Models Predict Transition States in Unseen Chemical Reactions
Chemical reactions are decided at a fleeting point that molecules occupy only for an instant: the transition state. It is the high-energy configuration through which...
Multiple Myeloma Cell Lines Reveal Clonal Heterogeneity Across One Patient’s Disease Course
Multiple myeloma has long challenged researchers with a deceptively simple problem: the disease may be diagnosed in one patient, yet it is rarely driven by...
AI-Guided System Improves Real-Time Factory Scheduling After Equipment Failures
A new study proposes a machine-learning system designed to help factories recover from one of the most disruptive events in modern manufacturing: the sudden failure...
Novel slotted circumferential groove with self-recirculation boosts transonic compressor rotor stability
A new study has identified a potentially powerful way to make transonic compressor rotors more stable by reshaping one of the most turbulent regions inside...
Mechanistic Simulation-Trained Neural Networks Improve Scientific Inference
A new study suggests that one of the biggest challenges in artificial intelligence—teaching machines to understand science rather than merely recognize patterns—may have a powerful...
AlzheiNN: Convolutional Neural Network Model Classifies Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease classification is entering a new phase in which artificial intelligence is being asked to detect patterns that may be difficult to recognize through...
How CEOs’ Multidisciplinary Backgrounds Shape Corporate Financing and Investment Maturity Mismatches
Corporate investment decisions often unfold on two different clocks. Companies may raise money through short-term loans, commercial paper or other financing instruments while committing that...
Adaptive Deep Reinforcement Learning Improves Crop Yield Prediction in Smart Precision Farming
A new study published in Scientific Reports has introduced an artificial-intelligence framework designed to tackle one of precision agriculture’s most difficult challenges: predicting how much...
Model-Free Multiparametric SHG Imaging Reveals Collagen Signatures of Breast Cancer
Breast tumors do not grow in isolation. They develop within a complex structural environment known as the tumor microenvironment, where cancer cells interact with blood...
