Iron deficiency affects about one in four people worldwide, with young children among those at greatest risk. In early life, inadequate iron can impair brain...
A new study published in Nature Microbiology identifies signalling pathways from the interleukin-1 family as key drivers of mucosal defence during systemic infection with the...
Brassinosteroids are among the most influential hormones in plant biology, yet the molecular logic that allows plants to recognize such a chemically diverse family of...
The hippocampus is often portrayed as a single memory machine, but a new connectomics study suggests that one of its most important circuits is organized...
Liver metastases are among the most difficult complications of advanced cancer. Unlike many other organs, the liver is continuously exposed to nutrients arriving from the...
White fat is often portrayed as a passive storage depot, a biological warehouse where excess energy is packed away for later use. A new study...
A bedside ultrasound technique is emerging as a potential alternative to repeated X-ray checks for placing nasojejunal feeding tubes in newborns, according to a multicenter...
A routine laboratory clock may hold the key to reducing unnecessary antibiotic exposure among newborns in intensive care. A new study in the Journal of...
A finding that could reshape the global conversation about climate-smart agriculture is challenging one of the field’s most appealing assumptions: that increasing soil organic carbon...
A new lipid nanoparticle system has enabled researchers to genetically modify human haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) inside humanized mice, addressing one of the...
Monolithic perovskite/Cu(In,Ga)Se₂ tandem solar cells have reached a new performance milestone, with researchers reporting a certified power conversion efficiency of 30.57% for a small-area device....
The Arctic is often portrayed as a wilderness ruled almost entirely by temperature, drought, and the slow movement of climate systems. But a new study...
Kaposi sarcoma is not simply a tumour made of abnormal blood vessels. It is a complex tissue ecosystem in which infected cells, immune cells, endothelial...
A molecular switch that helps the intestine manage incoming fat may have been identified in an unexpected place: the activity of a protein called TMEM135....
