Daily briefing: Three decades of Dolly
Look back at the thirty years of advances since the birth of Dolly the sheep. Plus, what the science says about staving off dementia and a call to preserve the Hubble space telescope.
Latest Reviews & Analysis
Volcanoes and wildfires contributed to increased stratospheric humidification
Observations from satellites and climate-model simulations show that moderate volcanic eruptions and extreme wildfires have humidified the stratosphere since 2005. The aerosol-mediated effects of these eruptions and fires explain about one-third of the observed stratospheric water-vapour trend, a contribution similar to that of surface warming.
Breast cancer driver genes found by screening chromosome aberrations in vivo
Cancer genomes are unstable, often experiencing gains or losses of whole chromosomes or chromosome arms — changes known as aneuploidies. Experiments in mouse models of breast cancer reveal that these instabilities harbour one or two prevalent genes that drive cancer and that bypass the need to accumulate aneuploidies; they also require an intact microenvironment to produce their effects.

Non-genotoxic transplantation and in vivo selection through epitope editing
Epitope editing of KIT enables antibody-based, non-genotoxic conditioning that selectively enriches therapeutic _BCL11A_-edited haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, supports durable engraftment, preserves clonal diversity and enhances induction of fetal haemoglobin, a therapeutic approach for conditions such as sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia.
