Extreme heatwaves: surprising lessons from the record warmth

Unprecedented temperatures are coming faster and more furiously than researchers expected, raising questions about what to anticipate in the future.

Long-lasting HIV prevention drug could be game changer — but who will pay?

Injectable antiviral cabotegravir provides stronger protection than oral pill, but researchers fear it could be too expensive to make a difference for countries with the greatest disease burden.

Latest Reviews & Analysis

- Long-sought mediator of vitamin K recycling discovered
  
  The identity of the enzyme that enables vitamin K to combat the adverse side effects of a drug called warfarin has been long sought. Analysis of a type of cell death called ferroptosis has now unexpectedly solved the mystery.

- Bright blue nanoscale LEDs for next-generation displays
  
  Microscopic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have applications ranging from augmented-reality displays to large-screen products, but their brightness typically decreases as their size is reduced. A solution to this problem has now been found and used to manufacture bright blue nanoscale LEDs.

- Risk management alone fails to limit the impact of extreme climate events
  
  An analysis of floods or droughts that hit the same place twice shows that using risk management alone does not reduce the effect of extreme events. Addressing the social drivers of hazard impact, equitably, is essential.

A non-canonical vitamin K cycle is a potent ferroptosis suppressor

Biochemical and lipidomic analyses identify an anti-ferroptotic function of vitamin K and reveal ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 (FSP1) as the enzyme mediating warfarin-resistant vitamin K reduction in the canonical vitamin K cycle.
