Gene therapy marks a turning point for rare skin diseases Summary A gel-based gene therapy (beremagene geperpavec, marketed as Vyjuvek/B-VEC) and a graft-delivered gene therapy (prademagene zamikeracel, marketed as Zevaskyn/pz-cel)…
Five highlights from skin research Summary This Nature Outlook roundup presents five recent advances in skin science: a method to attach living synthetic skin to robotic surfaces so a robot…
Global phenology maps reveal the drivers and effects of seasonal asynchrony Summary This study produces a globally consistent map of land surface phenology (LSP) by fitting harmonic-regression phenocycles to a…
A psoriasis cure could be in touching distance Summary Antibody therapies that target key cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17, IL-23) have revolutionised treatment for moderate to severe psoriasis, often clearing extensive skin…
Topological prethermal strong zero modes on superconducting processors Summary This work reports the experimental observation of long-lived topological edge modes at finite (even effectively infinite) temperature on a 125-qubit superconducting…
Attosecond control and measurement of chiral photoionization dynamics Summary This Nature paper reports the first application of circularly polarised attosecond extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to chiral molecules and shows attosecond-resolved control…
Electrically driven lasing from a dual-cavity perovskite device Summary This Nature paper reports the first demonstration of electrically driven lasing from a vertically integrated dual-cavity perovskite device. The authors combine…
Ultrabroadband on-chip photonics for full-spectrum wireless communications Summary This Nature paper demonstrates a thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonic integrated circuit (PIC) architecture that generates, modulates and receives wireless carriers across…
Thioester-mediated RNA aminoacylation and peptidyl-RNA synthesis in water Summary This paper (Singh et al., Nature, 2025) demonstrates a chemically plausible, non-enzymatic route to aminoacylate RNA in water using aminoacyl-thiols (biological…
Crystal structures of agonist-bound human cannabinoid receptor CB1 Summary This study reports crystal structures of the human cannabinoid receptor CB1 bound to two high-affinity agonists, AM11542 and AM841, determined at…
