Nature staff discuss how animal studies are starting to uncover how DNA repair could prolong life, and how COVID-19 can reawaken dormant viruses.

Targeting shared proteins could help to control bacterial subtypes that current vaccines do not protect against.

Vehicles are less likely to smash into deer on the road where the big cats are on patrol.

Measuring the deformation of a surface hit by a falling droplet offers insights into water’s erosive power.

Two very different methods are used to estimate the human toll of heatwaves such as those now hitting parts of Asia and Europe.

The technology is proving adept at finding faults in decades-old papers and reference databases.

Funding is being terminated for projects including a future CERN experiment and the iconic Lovell Telescope.

The device’s simple design could rival much more complex alternatives in biophysics research — and could even be used to search for dark matter.

Researchers untangle the chemistry behind turning PVC into high-grade motor lubricant — plus, how engineered yeast can help make a cancer drug.

Results from a panel of assays that analyse different aspects of DNA sequence specificity reveal more than 100 new motifs to aid the characterization of putative human transcription factors.

High-spatial-resolution observations of the solar photosphere reveal a far more complex and dynamic solar scene than previously observed and show that ubiquitous Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities drive plasma mixing on the Sun.

The RNA-binding protein ZFP36L2 mediates stress-adaptive plasticity in intestinal regeneration and colorectal cancer metastasis.

A three-dimensional printing method transforms hydrogel particles into aligned microfibres during extrusion, creating structural anisotropy to accelerate muscle tissue regeneration.

Amygdala astrocyte primary cilia are disrupted during stress, and their restoration leads to improvements in stress-related behaviour in mice.

Integration of genome-scale CRISPR screening data from traditional cell lines and next-generation cancer models expands the representation of tumour subtypes and genomic alterations in The Cancer Dependency Map.

A mild chemical process upcycles polyvinyl chloride waste into polyalphaolefin lubricants with tunable properties, offering an economical route to plastic recycling and improved carbon circularity.
