Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best.

This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

It has been suggested that vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is a cause of autism. We conducted a retrospective cohort study of all children born in Denmark from January 1991 th...

Really excited to travel to Germany today to attend the PicoQuant Single-Molecule workshop (www.picoquant.com/events/detai...) and then the Göttingen Expansion Microscopy FORUM (GEF25)! www.rizzoli-lab.de/gef25/program/ At the latter I will give my final talk on behalf of Nature Methods.

Nanoneedle arrays classify disease states
The cover image illustrates a nanoneedle chip applied to live brain tissue to sample biomolecules for spatiotemporal lipidomics.

Original article: Gu, C., et al. Nanoneedles enable spatiotemporal lipidomics of living tissues. Nat. Nanotechnol. 20, 1262–1272 (2025). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-025-01955-8

Abstract
Spatial biology provides high-content diagnostic information by mapping the molecular composition of tissues. However, traditional spatial biology approaches typically require non-living samples, limiting temporal analysis. Here, to address this limitation, we present a workflow using porous silicon nanoneedles to repeatedly collect biomolecules from live brain tissues and map lipid distribution through desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry imaging. This method preserves the integrity of the original tissue while replicating its spatial molecular profile on the nanoneedle substrate, accurately reflecting lipid distribution and tissue morphology. Machine learning analysis of 23 human glioma biopsies demonstrated that nanoneedle sampling enables the precise classification of disease states. Furthermore, a spatiotemporal analysis of mouse gliomas treated with temozolomide revealed time- and treatment-dependent variations in lipid composition. Our approach enables non-destructive spatiotemporal lipidomics, advancing molecular diagnostics for precision medicine.
