Two bombshell discoveries are forcing scientists to rethink how complex life on Earth first emerged, from oxygen-loving ancient microbes to a bizarre giant virus that may rewrite the role viruses played in our own evolution. Researchers have also mapped an Alzheimer's brain in unprecedented chemical detail, uncovering disruptions far beyond the amyloid plaques that have long dominated the conversation. On the cancer front, a counterintuitive melanoma treatment finding and a newly cracked immune-evasion mechanism in a rare liver cancer are opening unexpected doors for patients. Elsewhere, the Southern Indian Ocean is losing salt at an alarming rate with potentially sweeping consequences for global climate, and a high-altitude mystery about diabetes has finally been solved. Plus, your bubble tea habit and your post-run recovery routine may both be due for a second look.
