A crowd of people at a protest hold a sign that says 'Science Makes America Great'

Exclusive: a Nature analysis signals the beginnings of a US science brain drain

A trawl of job views and application data suggests jobseekers are looking abroad as the Trump administration’s cuts to science take hold.

Exclusive: Trump team freezes new NSF awards — and could soon axe hundreds of grants

The National Science Foundation is the latest US agency to be disrupted by Elon Musk’s DOGE.

Phase I/II trial of iPS-cell-derived dopaminergic cells for Parkinson’s disease

After transplantation into the brain of patients with Parkinson’s disease, allogeneic dopaminergic progenitors derived from induced pluripotent stem cells survived, produced dopamine and did not form tumours, therefore suggesting safety and potential clinical benefits for Parkinson’s disease.

Daily briefing: The biggest single piece of meat ever grown in the lab

A nugget-sized chunk of chicken is the biggest single piece of lab-grown meat to date. Plus, the up-and-coming world of stem-cell therapies and how cuts to US foreign aid could cause millions of deaths by 2040.

- Top of the crops: rice scientists seek to meet global food demands
  
  Work from the International Rice Research Institute to develop high-yield rice that survives deep waters, and a holistic view of physiology, in this week’s dip into Nature’s archive.

- The first observation of ‘plastic ice’ reveals unusual behaviour of water molecules
  
  Neutron-scattering experiments have revealed a predicted high-pressure phase of ice called ‘plastic ice VII’, in which molecules form crystals, as they do in normal ice, but rotate as in liquid water. These data highlight the role of hydrogen dynamics in defining exotic ice phases and could have implications for the geodynamics of icy planets.

- Age-related blood condition counteracted with a common diabetes drug
  
  Metformin could reduce people’s risk of certain age-associated blood cancers, but more work is needed to identify who is likely to benefit.

- Clinical trials test the safety of stem-cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease
  
  Transplanting dopamine-releasing neurons into the brain is a promising regenerative therapy for Parkinson’s disease. Two clinical trials show that it is safe, but more evidence is needed to prove its effectiveness.

- Unlocking the diversity of wild and domesticated rice
  
  The construction of a ‘pangenome’ sequence collection that incorporates the genomes of nearly 150 wild and cultivated rice varieties captures all the genetic diversity found in this plant. It reveals genes associated with disease resistance that are unique to wild rice, and provides insights into the origins of domesticated rice.

The phased pan-genome of tetraploid European potato

A haplotype-resolved pan-genome of autotetraploid European potato founder lines shows high nucleotide diversity at remarkably low haplotype diversity, which is probably the result of hybridization events with wild potato species, followed by population bottlenecks during domestication and transition to Europe.
