Education must go beyond only countering essentialist and deterministic views of genetics Biological and genetics research has established that racial categories have no biological or genetic basis. Social sciences have established that race is a socially and politically constructed categorization
It was a turbulent year from start to end, but 2023 was not just about devastating wars, natural disasters and the cost-of-living crisis. The past 12 months also saw the approval of a revolutionary new malaria vaccine, a sharp drop
The findings come from the US muon g-2 experiment Scientists near Chicago say they may be getting closer to discovering the existence of a new force of nature. They have found more evidence that sub-atomic particles, called muons, are not
Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements suggest hours-long precursors to many large earthquakes RELATED RESEARCH ARTICLE The precursory phase of large earthquakes BY QUENTIN BLETERY, JEAN-MATHIEU NOCQUET Tsunami waves hit the coast in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, after a powerful earthquake under
The war is far from over but Ukraine’s government is already considering how to build back — and use the opportunity to move on from a Soviet-era system. Radiation scientist Galyna Tolstolutska stands in the ruins of the Kharkov Institute
Abstract Numerous viruses use specialized surface molecules called fusogens to enter host cells. Many of these viruses, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can infect the brain and are associated with severe neurological symptoms through poorly understood
The master regulator of innate T cell metabolism Mucosal associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a type of innate-like T cells that are enriched in adipose, gut, and liver tissue and that recognize bacterial metabolites. Upon activation, they proliferate and

Researchers are excited about the AI — but many are frustrated that its underlying engineering is cloaked in secrecy. The GPT-4 artificial-intelligence model is not yet widely available.Credit: Jaap Arriens/NurPhoto via Getty Images Artificial intelligence company OpenAI this week unveiled GPT-4,
Tweaking the scaffold Immune checkpoint blockade using anti–PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is used for treatment of multiple cancers. Whether these mAbs have the optimal Fc scaffold to induce Fc-mediated effector functions is unclear. Here, Cohen-Saban et al. investigate how FcγR engagement by
