    Bacterial strains and culture conditions

    All cloning was performed in E. coli Trans1-T1 chemically competent cells (TransGen Biotech). Genetic circuit validation used E. coli DH10B (TSC-C09, Tsingke). Cultures were grown in lysogeny broth (LB) at…

    Climate snapshots trapped in ancient ice tell a surprising story

    Nature, Published online: 18 March 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-00636-3

    Antarctic ice cores hint that changes in the ocean might have played a larger part than have greenhouse gases in key climate shifts of the past three million years.

  • Thymic health and immunotherapy outcomes in patients with cancer

    Thymic health and immunotherapy outcomes in patients with cancer

    In this study we provide evidence for the clinical relevance of thymic health in immuno-oncology. We found that high thymic health was consistently associated with improved outcomes across a real-world cohort of 3,476 patients with various cancer…

    Serial EM reconstructions

    EM reconstructions were based on a single animal. We previously imaged and aligned a 770 × 750 × 53-μm3 volume of lobule V of the mouse cerebellum for EM reconstructions composed of 1,176 45-nm-thick…

    Genome editing that avoids immune detection to integrate large DNA sequences

    Nature, Published online: 18 March 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-00730-6

    A genome-editing approach called INSTALL combines single-stranded DNA molecules that evade immune detection with a short double-stranded region that allows recombinase enzymes to…
