Amygdala–liver signalling orchestrates glycaemic responses to stress Summary This Nature paper identifies a medial amygdala (MeA) → ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) → sympathetic → liver axis that rapidly mobilises glucose in…
3D-printed micro ion trap technology for quantum information applications Summary This Nature paper reports the design, fabrication and characterisation of micro ion traps made by high-resolution 3D printing (two-photon polymerisation)…
Supervised learning in DNA neural networks Summary This paper reports a DNA-based molecular system that performs supervised learning in vitro. Using extended seesaw DNA strand-displacement motifs, the authors engineered two…
Training of physical neural networks Summary This Nature review surveys the state of physical neural networks (PNNs) — systems that use analogue physics (optical, electronic, mechanical, chemical and other substrates)…
Adaptive and context-aware volumetric printing Summary This paper presents GRACE (Generative, Adaptive, Context-Aware 3D Printing), a workflow that combines tomographic volumetric printing with light-sheet imaging, computer vision and parametric modelling…
Patterned invagination prevents mechanical instability during gastrulation Summary This paper shows that the cephalic furrow — an epithelial fold that appears at the head–trunk boundary in cyclorrhaphan flies such as…
Brain-wide representations of prior information in mouse decision-making Summary This study from the International Brain Laboratory asks where and how prior information (expectations) is represented across the mouse brain during…
A nanobody specific to prefusion glycoprotein B neutralizes HSV-1 and HSV-2 Summary This Nature study reports the discovery and structural characterisation of a prefusion-specific nanobody, Nb1_gbHSV, that potently neutralises herpes…
A circuit that integrates drive state and social contact to gate mating Key points • The medial preoptic area (MPOA) encodes a long-lasting sexual drive state (MPOA Esr1 ∩ Vgat…
Spatial joint profiling of DNA methylome and transcriptome in tissues Summary This paper describes spatial-DMT, a new spatial multi-omics method that simultaneously profiles the DNA methylome (mCG and mCH/mCA) and…
