Researchers used environmental data and modeling to predict where dangerous scorpions live, finding soil type and temperature are key factors. This helps target public health efforts in high-risk areas to prevent stings and improve treatment.
Two gut bacteria break down colon mucus, causing chronic constipation. This may explain treatment-resistant cases and link to Parkinson's disease. Blocking a bacterial enzyme prevented constipation in mice, suggesting new treatments.
Scientists found disease resistance in a wild banana, offering hope to protect global supply from a deadly fungus.
Osaka researchers created subnanometer pores in silicon nitride using electrochemical reactions, mimicking biological ion channels. This controllable method could advance DNA sequencing and neuromorphic computing.
UCL researchers found fat molecules called epoxy-oxylipins naturally calm inflammation by reducing immune cells linked to chronic diseases. Boosting them could lead to new treatments for arthritis and heart disease.
Science faces challenges to its authority, but the core issue is a loss of influence, not public trust.
Michael Pollan's book explores consciousness and how psychedelics reveal it as a brain construct, suggesting the future of intelligence may be understood through its evolution.
Researchers designed new proteins called GEMs that target GPCRs, like the dopamine D1 receptor, as diverse allosteric modulators, offering a novel therapeutic strategy.
A 2015 Nature article had a duplicated micrograph in a figure. The correction clarifies the error, provides the correct image, and states the study's conclusions remain unchanged.
Nature issues an editorial expression of concern for a 2000 paper on p53, citing concerns over similar western blot bands in Fig. 3. The authors lack original data for verification but disagree with the concern.
Nature issues a caution on a 2010 paper due to concerns about similar western blot bands in multiple figures. The authors lack original data for verification but disagree with the concern.
