Global burden of amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and opioid use in 204 countries, 1990–2023: a Global Burden of Disease Study

Global Burden of Disease estimates show that between 1990 and 2023, the prevalence and burden of drug use disorders, inclusive of amphetamine, cannabis, cocaine and opioid use, have been increasing in high-income countries, particularly in the USA.

The prevalence of repeating fast radio bursts

Of the 72 known fast radio burst (FRB) sources only two have been observed to emit repeat bursts. By calculating the volumetric occurrence rate of non-repeating FRBs, Vikram Ravi shows that there are not enough candidate cataclysmic progenitor events for most FRBs to be one-off phenomena, and therefore most FRBs must repeat.

Climate, air quality, and equity benefits from hydrogen substitution for fossil fuels used in process heat

This analysis quantifies the potential climate, air quality, and equity benefits associated with decarbonizing heavy industry by substituting fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas with hydrogen for process heat applications.

Donor strand complementation and calcium ion coordination drive the chaperone-free polymerization of archaeal cannulae

Cannulae are heat-resistant protein nanotubes found on the surface of thermophilic archaea. Here, the authors report the structures of cannulae at the atomic level with insight into their high stability and mechanism of assembly, which has potential impact for biomaterials design.

Radio bursts from among the oldest stars

Luminous bursts of radio emission are linked to highly magnetized neutron stars known as magnetars. Now, bursts have been detected from a globular star cluster, an environment thought to be devoid of magnetars.

A gas-rich cosmic web revealed by the partitioning of the missing baryons

Using a large cosmological sample of FRBs, Connor et al. have located many of the Universe’s unseen baryons, finding that most reside in the diffuse intergalactic medium, not galaxies—confirming the strong astrophysical feedback seen in simulations.

Preferential occurrence of fast radio bursts in massive star-forming galaxies

Analysis of the stellar population properties of 30 host galaxies of fast radio bursts (FRBs) suggests an abundance of FRBs in massive star-forming galaxies, and implies that the formation of FRB sources—magnetars—is linked to core-collapse supernovae of stellar merger remnants.

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).

A series of early-time, multiwavelength observations of an optical transient, AT2022cmc, indicate that it is a relativistic jet from a tidal disruption event originating from a supermassive black hole.

Coordinate regulation of mutant NPC1 degradation by selective ER autophagy and MARCH6-dependent ERAD

Niemann-Pick type C1 disease is most commonly caused by the allele NPC1 I1061T, which is misfolded in the ER and rapidly degraded by the ubiquitin proteasome system. Here the authors show that the I1061T mutant is also degraded by ER-phagy.

The observed impact of galaxy halo gas on fast radio bursts

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) can be used as sensitive probes of diffuse gas in galaxy dark-matter haloes. Here the authors analyse several fast radio bursts that intersect galaxy dark-matter haloes within 40 Mpc, finding that the additional dispersion provided by the diffuse gas (presumably the intragroup medium) is in excess of 90 pc cm⁻³.

A fast radio burst localized to a massive galaxy

Use of a specially built radio interferometer shows that a non-repeating fast radio burst is localized to a few-arcsecond region containing a single massive galaxy, and is perhaps derived from an old stellar population.
