Landmark study uncovers role of tumour microenvironment in nasopharyngeal carcinoma progression which supports personalised treatment
Molecular profiling of over 1,000 nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) patients’ tumours reveals distinct differences in tumour microenvironment of locoregionally advanced NPC, supporting the use of personalised treatment
Current treatment does not account for these biological differences, resulting in suboptimal outcomes
The study is the result of a 7-year-effort by the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS), and validates ongoing clinical trials aimed at improving standards of ...
Control of spin qubits at near absolute zero a game changer for quantum computers
2025-06-25
Developing technology that allows quantum information to be both stable and accessible is a critical challenge in the development of useful quantum computers that operate at scale.
Research published today in the prestigious journal Nature provides a pathway for scaling
the number of quantum transistors (known as qubits) on a chip from current numbers under 100 to the millions needed to make quantum computation a practical reality. The result is enabled by new cryogenic control electronics, that operate at close to absolute zero, developed at The University of Sydney.

Immune cells promoting tumor growth? How dying cancer cells turn their enemies into allies
2025-06-25
Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan studied what happens when macrophages—a type of immune cell—encounter dying cancer cells in tumors and discovered a mechanism that accelerates tumor growth. When cancer cells begin to die within tumors, they expose signals on their surface that indicate they are dying. Macrophages then detect these signals and engage in phagocytosis, where they eat dying cancer cells. Using fruit flies as a model organism, the scientists found this triggers production of proteins called cytokines, which activate growth ...
How diverse brain cells reach a decision together
2025-06-25
Every decision begins invisibly.
Long before someone acts, the brain is already hard at work gathering evidence, weighing options, and gradually committing to a choice. But even when faced with the same evidence, people can arrive at different outcomes, especially when the decision is difficult. Two different drivers in rush hour traffic, for example, see the same congested road, yet one might speed up to merge while another cautiously brakes.
How the brain, made up of billions of specialized cells, makes ...
Pervasive surveillance of people is being used to access, monetize, coerce, and control
2025-06-25
New research has underlined the surprising extent to which pervasive surveillance of people and their habits is powered by computer vision research – and shone a spotlight on how vulnerable individuals and communities are at risk.
Analyses of over 40,000 documents, computer vision (CV) papers and downstream patents spanning four decades has shown a five-fold increase in the number of computer vision papers linked to downstream surveillance patents. The work also highlights the rise of obfuscating language that is used to normalise and even hide the existence of surveillance.
The research, ...

New Global Index Aims to Help People and Nature Thrive Together
Researchers at Oxford University join the United Nations Development Programme to propose an optimistic, practical approach to inspire stronger action on nature.
Oxford, 25 June 2025 — As the world faces an escalating planetary crisis, a new paper published today in Nature offers something we don’t often hear - hope. Rather than focussing on what we’re doing wrong, the paper proposes a bold new way forward; a global framework that measures how well people and nature are thriving together.

Increased prescribing of ADHD medication and real-world outcomes over time
2025-06-25
About The Study: In this study, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medication remained associated with reduced risks of several serious real-world outcomes (self-harm, unintentional injury, traffic crashes, and crime). However, the magnitude of these associations appears to have decreased alongside rising prescription rates over time. Thus, it is important to regularly evaluate medication use in different patient populations.

New study shows how biomass changed over 500 million years
2025-06-25
In a first-of-its-kind study, Stanford researchers have measured how the abundance of ocean life has changed over the past half-billion years of Earth’s history.
Overall, the total mass of marine organisms has generally increased over the past 500 million years, the study showed, albeit with setbacks after major extinction events. The findings align with evidence for a similar rise in marine biodiversity – the total variety of organisms – over the past half-eon from studies dating as far back as the 19th century, suggesting an evolutionary connection between biomass and biodiversity. ...
Estimated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness in adults
2025-06-25
About The Study: In this case-control study of vaccine effectiveness, 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccines were estimated to provide additional effectiveness against medically attended COVID-19, with the highest and most sustained estimates against critical illness. These results highlight the importance of receiving recommended COVID-19 vaccination for adults 18 years or older.
