Arctic waters have notched a growing number of extreme events called marine heatwaves, raising fears for the region’s more heat-sensitive sea creatures.
Millions of people a year are hospitalized by respiratory syncytial virus and tens of thousands die. After decades of failure, four vaccines are now in late-stage trials.
A genome-wide association meta-analysis study of blood lipid levels in roughly 1.6 million individuals demonstrates the gain of power attained when diverse ancestries are included to improve fine-mapping and polygenic score generation, with gains in locus discovery related to sample size.
Barriers to reproducing preclinical results included unhelpful author communication, but critics argue that one-time replication attempts don’t tell the whole story.
Researchers performed the largest genetic study of cholesterol levels so far by combining data from 201 studies in 35 countries involving 1.65 million people. Diversifying research participants improved the ability to identify genes controlling cholesterol levels and to predict levels across all ancestries.
Teams of scientists tested 53 ways to induce people to keep returning to the gym and found that money talks. Plus, why we can’t wait for the James Webb Space Telescope and replication chaos in cancer biology.
