A booming industry of advisers is easing their passage

This study presents neuroGravity—a model that merges physics with machine learning to reconstruct mobility networks in data-scarce regions. It provides crucial tools for equitable urban planning, reve...

In a contemporary academic cohort of adults with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia, methicillin resistance was associated with distinct epidemiologic charac

Training a neural network to collate data from several sources provides a high-resolution view of how people are moving around the world.

As presented at the American Diabetes Association Meeting, in this phase 3 trial, weekly subcutaneous injections of survodutide, a glucagon receptor/GLP-1R dual agonist, lowered liver fat content and body weight compared to placebo in adults with obesity and at-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Nature - Peptide injections are the hottest trend in wellness. Researchers say enthusiasm for these unregulated drugs has got ahead of the science.

By sticking to a clear strategy when reading, I get much more out of the literature, says Jacques Cornwell.

Linafexor is a rapidly cleared FXR agonist designed to mimic natural bile acid signalling, achieving transient receptor activation with strong efficacy and reduced toxicity in preclinical and early clinical studies.

Animal companions can be a lot of work, and are difficult to fit into a busy professional’s life, but they can also enhance well-being.

Will medical trainees who rely on AI fail to develop foundational independent clinical reasoning? This Perspective outlines a precautionary framework to preserve foundational competence while supporting safe and effective AI integration in medical training.

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41580-026-00978-wTight junctions form essential paracellular barriers and regulate cell polarity and tissue mechanics. This Review discusses how tight junction components assemble into strand networks, and explores tight junction function in development and disease, and emerging therapeutic strategies.

An open-label, randomized controlled phase 2 trial comparing favipiravir with ribavirin for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Lassa fever in Nigeria found that favipiravir was safe and well tolerated and supports its further optimization as a treatment alternative.

The Ebola outbreak reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) on 5th May is now believed to have resulted in 139 deaths in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The current outbreak is of particular concern due to the high fatality rate of the causal Bundibugyo strain, its spread into neighboring Uganda, and the absence of an approved vaccine or targeted treatments. Following the WHO’s declaration on 17th May that the outbreak constitutes a public health emergency of international concern1, we outline the urgent need for sustained research into diagnostic tools, life-saving vaccines, and antiviral therapies directed against this virus.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly accelerating scientific output, but risks narrowing inquiry, weakening judgement and undermining how scientists are trained.

Past outbreaks spawned clever strategies for testing antivirals and antibodies, but researchers will still face major challenges on the ground

Nature - Scientists are debating whether to limit biological AI software to ward off threats.

Nature Microbiology, Published online: 22 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02358-8Vaccines have saved an estimated 154 million lives in 50 years, yet that infrastructure is under threat. We highlight the global impact of vaccine scientists who trained in the USA and urge for stronger communication, advocacy and public engagement to safeguard vaccine science.

Human organoids offer experimental models that closely replicate human biology, enabling the investigation of infectious disease mechanisms across diverse organ systems, especially for viral pathogens. This Review highlights their applications in studying host–virus interactions, supporting therapeutic and vaccine development, and improving pandemic preparedness, while emphasizing the need for greater complexity, standardization and scalability.

Nature - Analysis of papers from millions of scientists shows that older researchers tend to stick with ideas from their past.
