Organ aging signatures in the plasma proteome track health and disease

Blood plasma protein data was combined with machine learning models for a simple method to determine differences in organ-specific aging; the study provides a basis for the prediction of diseases and aging effects using plasma proteomics.

Daily briefing: How to stave off climate tipping points with self-perpetuating solutions

Planet-altering climate ‘tipping points’ are looming — but positive behavioural and economic shifts could result in runaway benefits for the climate. Plus, scientists race to save ancient cave paintings and how the clumsy use of AI is fuelling the reproducibility crisis.

- Probing single electron spins with an atomic force microscope for quantum applications
  
  Electron spin resonance is a standard method for studying the structure of chemical compounds, and it can also be used to control quantum spin states. Combining electron spin resonance with atomic force microscopy allows single spins to be manipulated in single molecules — with potential applications in quantum computing and elsewhere.

- Harmful tumour–kidney interactions identified
  
  Fatal renal dysfunction is often associated with tumour development. Fly and mouse data reveal evolutionarily conserved mechanisms that link tumours to renal failure and offer potential for future therapeutic approaches.
