Tumour–brain crosstalk restrains cancer immunity via a sensory–sympathetic axis Summary This Nature paper shows that lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) recruit and activate specific vagal sensory neurons (VSNs) — a NPY2R/TRPV1-enriched population…
Phenome-wide analysis of copy number variants in 470,727 UK Biobank genomes Summary This Nature study presents a large-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS) phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of copy number variants (CNVs)…
Parkinson’s disease as a somato-cognitive action network disorder Summary This large multimodal study repositions Parkinson’s disease (PD) from a purely effector-specific motor disorder to one centred on a somato-cognitive action…
A pore-forming antiphage defence is activated by oligomeric phage proteins Summary This Nature paper describes a newly characterised bacterial antiphage system centred on a protein called Rip1. Rip1 recognises oligomeric…
