Nature Metabolism, Published online: 05 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01340-8Wang et al. report a workflow to perform quantitative mass spectrometry imaging and provide insight into spatial metabolic remodelling undergone in the mouse brain upon ischaemia.

Nature Metabolism, Published online: 05 August 2025; doi:10.1038/s42255-025-01341-7We present a cost-effective normalization strategy for spatial metabolomics using uniformly 13C-labelled yeast extract, which addresses limitations of conventional methods and the physico-chemical complexity of water-soluble metabolites. Our approach outperforms standard normalization strategies and reveals hitherto unrecognized metabolic remodelling in the cortex after stroke, demonstrating its applicability.

Israeli universities are major, willing and persistent accomplices in Israel’s regime of military occupation, settler-colonialism, apartheid, and now genocide.

Combined patient and animal model studies implicate microbiota-triggered TH17 cells as disease drivers and therapeutic targets in periodontitis.

From student to researcher, a career in science can come with a high price tag. This Perspective explores how persistent financial barriers limit who can succeed in science, revealing how wealth shape...

The bilaterian through gut with an anal opening is a key invention in animals, since it facilitates effective food processing, which allows animals to grow to a larger body size. However, because non-...

Birch pitch is thought to have been used in prehistoric times as hafting material or antiseptic and tooth imprints suggest that it was chewed. Here, the authors report a 5,700 year-old piece of chewed...

A microfluidics-free, scalable single-cell RNA-sequencing method produces high-quality transcriptomes.

A team of physicists, biologists and engineers at Cornell University, in the U.S., has discovered some of the factors that lead to more or less spray when cutting onions and found a couple of ways to ...

Promoting intestinal regeneration and enhancing mucosal healing have emerged as promising therapeutic alternatives for treating intestinal disorders t…

The intestine is a semipermeable tissue responsible for the absorption of essential nutrients while limiting exposure to harmful environmental factors. To maintain these functions, the intestinal epit...
