Shifting the Overton Window: enhancing therapeutic outcomes for Māori experiencing Ngā Māuiui kai (eating disorders) through the integration of traditional Māori and Western healing systems in Aotearoa New Zealand
Ngā māuiui kai (eating disorders) are understood within a Māori worldview as a manifestation of imbalance across hinengaro (mind), tinana (body), wairua (spirit) and whānau (family or support system). Prevailing Western treatment, which prioritise biopsychosocial interventions, do not address the…
Validation of a criterion-based screening and triage pathway for adult ADHD: a prospective observational study of safety and operational efficiency
BackgroundThe increasing demand for adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) assessments has required the development of efficient triage pathways. This study provides a formal assessment of a criterion-based screening model designed to prioritise patient safety and operational efficiency within a National…
Protracted encephalopathy and subacute combined degeneration associated with chronic nitrous oxide use: a case report
Nitrous oxide is a dissociative hallucinogen that is increasingly used recreationally, in part due to its widespread availability. Its use is known to cause subacute combined degeneration via inactivation of vitamin B12; it may also result in acute delirium and…
DNA-guided CRISPR–Cas12 for cellular RNA targeting
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03129-wΨDNA guides are used with Cas12 for precise, programmable targeting of cellular RNA.
Guide DNA — not RNA — expands the CRISPR toolkit
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03138-9Cas12 nucleases can use guide DNA instead of guide RNA, which switches their targets from DNA to RNA.
Widespread DNA off-targeting confounds RNA chromatin occupancy studies
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03130-3Many long noncoding RNA–DNA binding peaks detected using common assays arise from technical artifacts.

Population-scale genomic medicine with the Hong Kong Genome Project
Nature Medicine, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04410-wPart of the Hong Kong Genome Project, genomic analyses of more than 20,000 participants provide information on clinically relevant variants for the Chinese population and offer insights on the implementation of genomic medicine…
Favipiravir for Lassa fever: an open-label, randomized controlled phase 2 trial
Nature Medicine, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04402-wAn open-label, randomized controlled phase 2 trial comparing favipiravir with ribavirin for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Lassa fever in Nigeria found that favipiravir was safe and well tolerated and supports its further optimization…
Parsing autism spectrum heterogeneity through fMRI
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02269-1Autism is remarkably heterogeneous, posing a long-standing challenge for linking genetics to brain dynamics. A cross-species study identifies two principal dysconnectivity signatures across 20 mouse models of autism risk, each associated with distinct…
Excitatory synapses onto axonic spines jump-start action potentials and route information flow
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02282-4The axon initial segment was known to receive GABAergic synaptic inputs. Yang et al. show that it can be excited directly via specialized ‘axonic spines’. These spines thus boost neuronal firing and act…
Autism subtypes identified using cross-species functional connectivity analyses
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 15 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02287-zPagani et al. used cross-species fMRI to reveal two autism subtypes, characterized by lower and higher brain connectivity and linked to synaptic and immune-related pathways, respectively.

How Chinese short dramas became AI content machines
In a dimly lit bedroom, a frightened young woman is thrown onto a bed by a tall, muscular man. He grabs her hand, and flame-like vines crawl across her body, fusing with her flesh. She levitates, then drops. A dragon-shaped…
