At first glance, it looks like a simple calculation. The state offers compensation. The climate demands action. Low-lying soils must be restored as wetlands. Yet landowners hesitate. According to anthropologist and Ph.D. student Kasper Krabbe from the Department of Agroecology at Aarhus University, that is exactly where the misunderstanding begins.
Does it seem as though more people are coming out as neurodivergent these days?
In a seismic shift since Kew's inaugural State of the World report 10 years ago, the sixth State of the World's Plants and Fungi report, published June 16, 2026, brings together expertise from more than 400 scientists across 40 countries to explore how new technology is transforming the race to save nature. The report argues technology can be nature's ally, with digital tools exposing critical gaps in scientific knowledge and highlighting where action is most urgently needed to safeguard plants and fungi.
A human brain network associated with survival in children with diffuse midline glioma (DMG), the deadliest childhood brain cancer, has been identified by UCL clinician-scientists, raising the possibility of entirely new treatment approaches. The researchers found that DMG tumors seem to exploit the brain's existing neural circuitry to drive tumor growth and progression. Tumors that were more strongly connected to this network were associated with significantly shorter patient survival.
The Trump administration has issued final rules on how states should ensure that millions of Medicaid enrollees prove they're working or completing other activities, such as job training, volunteering or being enrolled in an educational program.
A new single-protein analysis technique gives researchers an unprecedented ability to study proteins called scramblases, which have critical roles in biology. The development of the new technique, in a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, expands the toolkit available to cell biologists and biophysicists and could someday be useful in devising new strategies against multiple diseases.
A research group led by Dr. Keiko Ueno, assistant professor at the Innovative Clinical Research Center, Kanazawa University, has revealed the status of collaboration between fire-based emergency medical service (EMS) agencies and community-based long-term care, welfare , and health organizations in Japan. The study identified six key practical measures essential for building a collaborative model that sustains long-term coordination between medical care and social support needs.
Since 2022, Georgia's surrogacy industry has boomed, with oversubscribed clinics now recruiting women from across Central Asia via Instagram and TikTok. New research conducted at the University of Oxford's Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS) provides unprecedented insight into the hidden systems of emotional control sustaining Georgia's transnational surrogacy market.
In the largest genetic study of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) traits to date, researchers have identified a genetic marker associated with more severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease—the major forms of IBD.
Advances in structural biology have allowed scientists to determine molecular structures with atomic-level detail, sometimes yielding static snapshots that do not reflect the dynamism of proteins. However, these motions are often crucial for biological function. Researchers from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA), together with international collaborators, have now combined several methods to shed light on how proteins "breathe" and how some experimental techniques freeze their motion. The findings—which could boost protein design approaches and improve AI-based structural prediction tools—are published in Nature Chemistry.
Alzheimer's-Related Psychosis: Interdisciplinary Perspectives for Understanding and Responding to Delusions and Hallucinations"—the latest report in The Gerontological Society of America's Insights & Implications in Gerontology series—underscores the clinical, emotional and societal impact of psychosis in individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and stresses the need for comprehensive, person-centered approaches to care.
Every time we move through a familiar environment, the hippocampus consults an internal map, a detailed spatial representation built up through repeated experience. But what happens when something unexpected occurs on a well-known route? Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn demonstrated in a mouse model that the brain does not redraw its maps from scratch. Instead, it annotates them, preserving the underlying spatial layout while overlaying new information on top of the existing map. The paper is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
A child at a playground tries to climb, jump or negotiate with a peer, and the attempt does not work. They fall, get left out of a game or reach another impasse. Then they try again.
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that gradually affects a person's ability to move, speak and breathe. It advances differently in every patient. Now, researchers at Nagoya University have developed an AI tool that uses data from patient follow-up studies to estimate the speed of disease progression and identify patterns of muscle decline. The study is published in npj Digital Medicine.
Screening people with the rare, inherited cancer-causing condition Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) brings both medical and economic benefits to patients and health care systems, according to research to be presented to the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics.
Understanding why some people stay healthy without developing disease until late in life (have an increased healthspan), whereas others become infirm at a much younger age, has important implications for the health of today's aging population. Life expectancy has significantly increased in the last two centuries, but healthspan has not kept pace.
About 25 million people in the U.S.—roughly eight out of 100—are diagnosed with asthma. Allergens, air pollution, extreme weather conditions and other irritants can cause chronic lung inflammation, leading to coughing, wheezing or shortness of breath.
Just 10 viral particles of the H5N1 bird flu that caused hundreds of influenza outbreaks in U.S. dairy cattle can cause infection in cows, a new study shows. The research also hints at why the outbreaks have confounded scientists, farmers and livestock handlers hoping to contain and prevent the disease—an effort likely complicated by the fact that the virus has an affinity for cow mammary glands rather than airways.
The "right to repair" movement is gaining steam as consumers push corporations to offer them more freedom to fix products—from cars to dishwashers to toys.
Patients with multiple myeloma who received a new immunotherapy combination lived significantly longer without their cancer worsening and showed early signs of improved survival in a large international clinical trial.
