Affecting up to 80% of cancer patients, cachexia remains a stubborn adversary with limited treatment options. A recent summit in Washington signalled a regulatory pivot: success is no longer measured by muscle mass alone, but by the restoration of daily function and independence.

On Indonesia’s Bintan Island, small-scale fishermen face a stark paradox: whilst they possess abundant natural resources and equipment, they suffer from severe financial and social instability. A new assessment reveals that low education levels and reliance on debt are undermining their resilience against climate change and pollution.

New research reveals that the nucleus undergoes distinct, mechanically regulated changes during necrosis, a form of cell death. Chromatin, the cell's genetic material, first slows down, then speeds up, a process controlled by the cytoskeleton and later by nuclear swelling and DNA fragmentation. This discovery challenges the view of necrosis as a passive event, showcasing it as an actively programmed process with significant mechanical oversight.

Researchers have developed a method to interpret complex neural network potentials by breaking them down into simpler, n-body interactions. This breakthrough, utilizing explainable AI tools, allows scientists to understand the underlying physics learned by these potentials without sacrificing their predictive power. The approach demonstrates that well-trained neural networks can indeed capture fundamental physical interactions in complex systems.
