Accurate geometric albedo, shape, and size of Hi’iaka from a stellar occultation

Hiʻiaka is the largest moon of the distant dwarf planet Haumea. Here, the authors report the first multi-chord stellar occultations of Hiʻiaka, revealing its size, shape, and density, suggesting an origin from Haumea’s icy mantle.

Characterising acute and chronic care needs: insights from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Chronic care manages long-term, progressive conditions, while acute care handles short-term ones. Here, authors show chronic conditions account for most of the global health burden, with 68% of DALYs and 93% of YLDs attributed to chronic care needs.

GWAS and meta-analysis identifies 49 genetic variants underlying critical COVID-19

An analysis of 24,202 critical cases of COVID-19 identifies potentially druggable targets in inflammatory signalling (JAK1), monocyte–macrophage activation and endothelial permeability (PDE4A), immunometabolism (SLC2A5 and AK5), and host factors required for viral entry and replication (TMPRSS2 and RAB2A).

Consistent patterns of common species across tropical tree communities

Inventory data from more than 1 million trees across African, Amazonian and Southeast Asian tropical forests suggests that, despite their high diversity, just 1,053 species, representing a consistent ~2.2% of tropical tree species in each region, constitute half of Earth’s 800 billion tropical trees.

Selective inhibition of microRNA accessibility by RBM38 is required for p53 activity

MicroRNAs bind to the 3′-untranslated region of genes to regulate expression. In this study, an RNA-binding protein, RMB38, is shown to selectively regulate the access of some microRNAs to their targets, and control the expression of some p53 target genes.

The Amazonas region has been the most heavily affected by COVID-19 in Brazil. In this study, the authors conduct phylodynamic analyses to assess SARS-CoV-2 lineage replacement dynamics in the region and infer the impact of population immunity on the spread and severity of the Delta and Omicron variants.

Circular DNA elements of chromosomal origin are common in healthy human somatic tissue

Somatic cells can accumulate structural variations such as deletions. Here, Møller et al. show that normal human cells generate large extrachromosomal circular DNAs (eccDNAs), most likely the products of excised DNA, that can be transcriptionally active and, thus, may have phenotypic consequences.

The heart is an endocrine organ, producing atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in a regulated manner. In this Review, the authors discuss the physiological regulation and actions of the cardiac natriuretic peptides and their clinical use as powerful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of heart disease.

Autotrophic carbon fixation in archaea

To date, three different autotrophic carbon fixation mechanisms have been found in archaea. Here, Georg Fuchs and colleagues describe these mechanisms and their phylogenetic distribution. As most cultivated autotrophic archaea live in conditions that resemble the conditions of early life, these pathways can serve as models for an ancestral autotrophic carbon fixation pathway.
