Front Matter delves into the stories of science. News Features cover research trends in depth, Opinion pieces advance the debate on topics in science and science policy, Inner Workings explore cutting ...

As AI tools become increasingly prevalent in workplaces, understanding the social dynamics of AI adoption is crucial. Through four experiments with over 4,400 participants, we reveal a social penalty ...

Cities experiencing elevated temperature (i.e., urban “heat island” warming), CO 2, and nitrogen deposition decades ahead of the projected average global change are regarded as the “harbingers” of the ...

The generation of fusion kinases through gene rearrangement represents a primary mechanism of rearranged during transfection (RET) oncogenic conversion. The change of location, increased expression, ...

The extent and impact of Early Medieval population movements on the establishment of trade and cultural networks across the North Sea have been the subject of debate for centuries. Analyzing ancient ...

Despite the strong link between animal development and adult lifespan, how developmental programs influence longevity remains poorly understood. Here, we show that mutants of the insect neuropeptide ...

Charting how the brain develops is key to understanding abnormal brain changes in common psychiatric and neurological disorders. Pooling brain scans from large cohorts of individuals at a specific ...

In contrast to most crops, Vitis vinifera benefited little from classical breeding due to their heterozygosis. Strikingly, the main cultivated grape varieties that we see today have remained the same ...

Understanding the nature of glasses are one of the most interesting kernels in condensed matter physics. Glassy materials usually exhibit different types of relaxation modes, which are coupled with ...

Healthy brain function requires a delicate balance of neural excitation (E) and inhibition (I). In animals, this balance—the E/I ratio—is known to decrease with the maturation of inhibitory circuitry ...

We present a method to recapitulate endochondral bone formation, the process through which long bones develop and grow, in cell culture. Our method begins with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) ...
