A psychedelic compound best known for its effects on the brain may help prevent one of chemotherapy's most debilitating side effects—chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy, researchers report in Science. In mouse models, as few as two doses of psilocybin given before treatment durably prevented CIPN through multiple cycles of chemotherapy, while preserving both nerve function and the therapies’ tumor-killing effects. 📄: scim.ag/4ctTNaF #SciencePerspective: scim.ag/466LJcj

A new proximity labeling and biophysical analysis shows that the protein Girdin-L is an unexpected ligand of the PDZ domain of the Dishevelled protein and plays an important role in promoting the breakdown of primary cilia on cells. @SciSignal scim.ag/4rs0gZP

An AI model called RADAR, designed to provide broad diagnostic interpretation of abdominal CT scans, substantially outperformed existing AI systems across a wide range of diseases and clinical settings, researchers report in Science. The findings demonstrate the potential of vision–language models to advance expert-level generalist AI tools for radiology. scim.ag/3SVbLwm

Now out in @ScienceMagazine! What gives some colorectal cancer cells the ability to spread? We found that ceramides made by cancer cells help activate a reparative program to metastasize. @qiming_kelly @ohyilmaz @Aslan_Tasdogan @UpasanaDA @aburakyildiz science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Japan’s 2025 bear crisis, which produced 232 casualties, has been widely attributed to rapid population growth, but a new @ScienceAdvances study shows that a compounding breakdown of the forest’s food supply drove the surge in bear attacks. scim.ag/47gULE4

Dogs, like humans, may favor consonants over vowels when parsing continuous speech, according to a new Science study comparing brain activity in the two species. The findings suggest that similar ways of processing speech can emerge in humans and dogs without requiring humanlike language abilities. Learn more: scim.ag/46GklSU

New results in @SciSignal reveal that the T cell adaptor protein PAG supports the function of #TCell immune synapses by connecting with actin, suggesting that it could offer a target to improve #immunotherapy in patients that show poor responses. scim.ag/4rsHYYJ

In the popular imagination, the defining image of the Paleolithic era—a time period stretching from the appearance of the first humans to the end of the last ice age, during which early humans and our ancestors fashioned stone tools for a variety of purposes—might be male hunters chasing mammoths and woolly rhinos across frozen steppes of Eurasia. But prehistoric art paints a different picture: The vast majority depicts women, suggesting the prehistoric past operated under very different rules from Western societies today. Austrian comic book artist Ulli Lust spent years reading everything she could find about ice age archaeology before starting her book, Early Man was a Woman (Die Frau als Mensch). An exploration of women’s underappreciated role in prehistory, the first volume was published in German in 2025. It won the prize for best German-language nonfiction book earlier this year, the first time a comic has ever won the award. The first of three volumes have now come out in English translation. Science spoke with Lust about the challenges of accurately capturing the archaeological record in a comic book and why the Stone Age is synonymous with cave men and not cave women.

This dolphin chased a fish until it puked—then ate the vomit. The surprising behavior, known as kleptoparasitism, marks one of the few well-documented examples of a cetacean stealing food. Learn more: scim.ag/4y6Blxr @NewsfromScience

Time to reveal the question marks! Thrilled to share my dissertation work in the @CChu_89 Lab at @Tsinghua_Uni @IITU_Tsinghua, now published in @ScienceMagazine. Together with our collaborators Qingxia and Qiang (from the Lei Zhou Lab) and Lan (from the Gregory Sonnenberg Lab), we identified the fibroblast–ILC3–pDC axis and extended our findings from experimental #colitis to human #IBD. 👉🏻 science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
