Selected journal : Science An in-body networking system for communication between wearable and implantable therapeutics https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adz5300 What is the main question of the paper? Inspired by the ionic signaling of the nervous system, can body tissue itself serve as the conductive medium for signal transmission—in place of power-hungry radio-frequency (RF) electronics—to build a syringe-injectable, near-zero-standby-power in-body network (SWANS) that gives

Selected journal : Nature Towards end-to-end automation of AI research https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10265-5#Abs1 What is the main question of the paper? The main question is whether an artificial intelligence system can autonomously navigate the entire scientific research life cycle, from conception to publication. While previous AI systems could only help with specific, narrow tasks—such as writing literature reviews, coding experiments, or predicting protein s

Selected journal : Nature Universal transcriptomic hallmarks of mammalian ageing and mortality https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10542-3 What is the main question of the paper? Can universal transcriptomic signatures across mammalian species be used to quantify biological ageing, predict mortality risk, and reveal conserved mechanisms underlying ageing? How did the anthor address the question? ■Step1 1) Construction of a universal transcriptomic ageing model The auth

Selected journal : Cell Metabolism Iron-addicted colorectal cancers exploit heme–complex II axis to resist oxidative cell death https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/fulltext/S1550-4131(26)00185-3 What is the main question of the paper? What metabolic adaptations allow colorectal cancer(CRC) cells to survive under iron-rich environment which is lethal for normal intestinal epithelial cells or non-CRC cells, most cells. How did the anthor address the question? ■Step1 1. In vivo

Selected journal : Nature Sleep chart of biological ageing clocks in middle and late life https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-026-10524-5 What is the main question of the paper? This study aims to answer a fundamental scientific question: What is the optimal daily sleep duration to maintain youthful organ health, and how do sleep extremes (overly short or long) drive systemic diseases, late-life depression, and all-cause mortality through distinct biological pathways? How
