A new article summarizes the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of celiac disease and highlights serologic testing, biopsy confirmation, associated autoimmune conditions, and a gluten-free diet as treatment.

Global food systems pose increasing harms to human health and the environment, so how can we shift toward healthier, sustainable, and more equitable systems for the world’s 8 billion people?

In a new #ScienceReview, researchers examine the evidence for how global diets have changed and strategies that could transition food systems toward a healthier future.

The production and accumulation of aberrant proteins can have serious pathological consequences.

In a new #ScienceReview, researchers explore how organisms maintain the extracellular proteome.

They describe a hierarchical framework for the monitoring, repair, and clearance of aberrant or pathological proteins and suggest possible ways to improve health and prevent protein-misfolding diseases by promoting these pathways. https://t.co/f8mtn5akVW

Butterfly populations across the U.S. are in alarming decline, according to a 2025 Science study, with total abundance falling by 22% in just 20 years.

Such widespread and worrisome losses portend broader environmental threats and emphasize the urgent need for conservation action. https://t.co/Un9IacvMKN #ScienceMagArchives

#Obesity prevalence among US adults more than doubled from 19.3% in 1990 to 42.5% in 2022 and is projected to reach nearly 47% by 2035, with sharper increases among younger adults and persistent differences across states, sex, and race and ethnicity.

An analysis of twin cohort data suggests that human life span is far more heritable than previously believed.

The findings of the analysis in Science show that once deaths from external factors, such as accidents or infectious disease, are accounted for, genetics may explain ~50% of how long we live.

Genomic and transcriptomic analysis of samples from patients with multiple myeloma, followed by in vitro validation, indicate mechanisms of antigen escape in response to GPRC5D T cell engager talquetamab, including biallelic deletions, small nucleotide variants and insertion-deletions and chromatin silencing.

Researchers studied blood-based metabolome of over 23,000 individuals from 10 ethnically diverse cohorts. They identified 235 metabolites associated with future risk of T2D. By integrating genetic and modifiable lifestyle factors, their findings provide insights into T2D mechanisms and could improve risk prediction and inform precision prevention.
