On World Obesity Day 2025, we explore the paradox of modern malnutrition: Why are food-insecure communities disproportionately affected by as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease?
Many pathogens hide within wild animal populations, making it difficult to monitor, predict or prevent outbreaks of these infections in other animal or human populations. Recently, we learn that there may be a way to use the blood microbiome from wild animals as a flag of potential infection.
The Southern Ocean is vital for sequestering CO2 and mercury, but its response to climate warming is uncertain. Research in the Ross Sea shows that ice shelf retreat boosts carbon release but turns it into CO2, while warming boosts mercury burial, amplifying pollution risks and climate feedbacks.
Miniproteins, microproteins, or ‘minibinders’, typically under 100 amino acids, are gaining attention for their potential pharmaceutical applications. These minibinders occur naturally in various organisms and play crucial roles.
Ice algae thrive on glaciers and ice sheets worldwide, darkening the ice and accelerating its melt. Our study reveals their minimal nutrient needs, explaining how they persist in this harsh environment and may colonize even larger ice areas in the future.
