A new early-stage study reveals that popular biological age trackers measure distinct, heterogeneous cellular processes. By pairing DNA methylation data with RNA sequencing, researchers created new gene scores that may better predict age-related disease.

By treating fishing fleets as biological sensors rather than just industry, researchers discovered that vessel movements accurately predict ecological shifts caused by warming waters. This data offered warnings of fishery collapses a full year ahead of official government declarations.

The intense 2023–24 El Niño event has forced a dramatic ecological shift in Costa Rica’s Isla del Caño reefs, significantly reducing living coral cover while boosting turf algae growth. Despite the region's historical resilience, rising sea temperatures now demand urgent, site-specific restoration efforts to prevent permanent ecosystem loss.

By cross-referencing huge genetic datasets with three powerful analytical tools, scientists have identified a high-confidence list of genes linked to endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers. The findings highlight crucial molecular pathways and reveal one gene, SPX, that may even play a protective role against these diseases.
