US science after a year of Trump: what has been lost and what remains A series of graphics reveals how the Trump administration has sought historic cuts to science and the research workforce.

A year into Trump’s second presidential term, Nature presents a series of graphics that reveal the impact of his administration on science. 🧪

Why cancer can come back years later — and how to stop it Researchers are targeting dormant tumour cells that might explain why some cancers reappear long after successful treatment.

Understanding why cancers relapse - sometimes years or decades after successful treatment - is a major challenge in the cancer field

This perspective in Nature discusses several of the important recent advances and new studies in the field of tumor dormancy 🧪⚕️

Dietary restriction reprograms CD8+ T cell fate to enhance anti-tumour immunity and immunotherapy responses - Nature Metabolism Dietary restriction promotes the expansion of effector T cells via ketone bodies, which enhances anti-tumour immunity and synergizes with immunotherapy in mice.

Also a big thank you to my amazing supervisors and mentors @thejoanasilva.bsky.social and @liamfaller.bsky.social for all you taught me during these years. Finally thanks to my paranymphs @ferhatalkan.bsky.social, @ipaniaguacabana.bsky.social, @nunopadrao.bsky.social, Domenica for being by my side

Last Thursday I defended my PhD at @erasmusmc.bsky.social Thank you so much to all that joined the defence and to @maxkoppers.bsky.social, @madelonmaurice.bsky.social, Celia Berkers and Vered Raz for the great scientific discussion.

Evidence for improved DNA repair in long-lived bowhead whale - Nature Analysis of the longest-lived mammal, the bowhead whale, reveals an improved ability to repair DNA breaks, mediated by high levels of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein.  &nbs...

What do the naked mole rat and bowhead whale (lives to ~200 years) have in common to explain their remarkable longevity?

Cellular responses to RNA damage RNA plays a central role in protein biosynthesis and performs diverse regulatory and catalytic functions, making it essential for all processes of life. Like DNA, RNA is constantly subjected to damage...

Happy to share our review on the cellular responses to RNA damage 🥂

Congrats to joined first authors Jacqueline Cordes & @shubozhao.bsky.social

Opinion | American Science is Under Attack The Trump administration hobbles research and endangers the public health.

"I've spent over five decades as a scientist in academia and the federal government," Harold Varmus, the former director of the N.I.H., writes in a guest essay. "Never before have I seen my profession so politicized as it is now under the Trump administration."

How can we build an Al virtual cell that simulates all functions and interactions of a cell? How will it transform research and drive breakthroughs in programmable biology, drug discovery and personalized medicine?
