Human emissions drive recent trends in North Pacific climate variations Summary This Nature paper challenges the prevailing view that the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) is primarily an internal climate oscillation.…
Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury Summary This Nature paper reports that female kidneys are endogenously resistant to ferroptosis, a form of iron-driven lipid peroxidation that drives…
Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription Summary Yu et al. (2025) combine high-resolution multi-omics (CUT&RUN for CTCF and cohesin subunits, Hi-C, spike-in normalised RNA-seq and Ribo-seq, ATAC, ChIP–seq)…
Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer Summary This Nature paper presents ALPACA, a new computational method that infers allele-specific integer copy-number profiles for individual tumour…
NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance Summary This Nature paper reports that the histone chaperone NASP (nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein) controls histone H3–H4 turnover and is a…
Expanding the cytokine receptor alphabet reprograms T cells into diverse states Summary This paper describes an engineered ‘‘orthogonal’’ cytokine–receptor platform that repurposes the common γc signalling hub to activate non‑canonical…
Acidic oxygen reduction by single-atom Fe catalysts on curved supports Summary This Nature paper reports a new Fe/N–C electrocatalyst architecture made of numerous nanoprotrusions on 2D carbon layers, with single-atom…
Accuracy of rubber-related deforestation maps Summary This correspondence critiques recent high-resolution rubber plantation maps by Wang et al. (2023), arguing that reported areas of rubber and associated deforestation are substantially…
Sun-powered flyers could explore the mysterious mesosphere Summary Researchers have demonstrated a tiny, one-centimetre-wide device that can levitate using only heat from the Sun. The device uses thermal transpiration: two…
Summary Matters Arising by Christof Schötz (2025) critiques the statistical approach used by Kotz, Levermann and Wenz (KLW, 2024). Schötz argues that KLW underestimated uncertainty in projected economic damages from…
