"The editorial team at Newton congratulates Drs. John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis on receiving the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics. Their discoveries in the early 1980’s helped bring the elusive principles of quantum mechanics within the grasp of our everyday experience. By using electronic circuits with superconducting elements, they demonstrated both quantum tunnelling and energy quantisation on a macroscopic scale. Awarded in the centenary year of quantum mechanics, this Nobel Prize highlights the enduring impact of the theory on both our understanding of nature and the technologies that shape our future."
-Elisa De Ranieri, Editor-in-Chief, Newton.

The editorial team at Cell extends warm congratulations to Drs. Shimon Sakaguchi, Mary Brunkow, and Fred Ramsdell for their discoveries that defined regulatory T cells as the basis for peripheral immune tolerance. “Tregs” are at the heart of immunity, and the foundational work of the laureates has set up fascinating questions that remain active areas for understanding how our bodies work and for leveraging the immune system to treat disease. We can’t wait to see how their legacy and humanity’s knowledge of peripheral tolerance grow from here.

Urbanization is driving food waste in lower- and middle-income countries closer to that of wealthy nations. If unaddressed, scientists argue this could have serious implications for food security.

"The microbiota extends the reproductive lifespan of mice by safeguarding the ovarian reserve" www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

@cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social
@pittdeptofmed.bsky.social Eldin Jašarević & colleagues

Munyoki et al. demonstrate that gut microbiota extend the female reproductive lifespan by safeguarding the ovarian reserve. Germ-free mice undergo accelerated primordial follicle loss and reduced reproductive capacity that are restored upon post-natal colonization. Microbial SCFAs contribute to protection, and dietary fiber supplementation maintains oocyte quality under obesogenic diets.

In brief, Santos-Pujol and colleagues characterize the multiomics landscape of the human with the most extreme longevity. The study enables the association of advantageous genetic variants, an engaged lipid metabolism, low inflammation levels, a proficient immune system, a rejuvenated microbiome composition, and a younger epigenetic age with the extraordinary lifespan.

Trends in Plant Science Special Issue Part 2: Root biology and soil health🌲 spkl.io/63329ATEMP

@cp-trendsplantsci.bsky.social

This issue highlights various aspects of studying and improving plant resilience, while also considering ways to preserve biodiversity and ecosystem health. Topics include the need to extend research beyond model plants, the microbiome’s role in stress tolerance, advances in root phenotyping, and the restoration and harnessing of plant– microbiome interactions in the rhizosphere.

Liang Kou and colleagues (featured on the cover) propose a new theoretical framework that emphasizes the importance of slow-decomposing root fragments in soil carbon stabilization, urging further research into multi-generational root dynamics to better predict ecosystem responses to global change.

"Global flux of perfluoroalkyl acids from glaciers in a warming climate" www.cell.com/one-earth/fu...

@cp-oneearth.bsky.social
#ChineseAcademyofSciences Xiaoping Wang, Jianjie Fu & colleagues

Global warming is accelerating the release of perfluoroal kyl acids (PFAAs) from melting glaciers, yet their release fluxes remain poorly quantified on a global scale. This study combines field and literature data with machine learning and a glacier mass balance model to estimate PFAA fluxes from glaciers worldwide. By quantifying fluxes in both dissolved and particle-b ound phases under three warming scenario s, the study identifies regional hotspots of concern and defines a critical time window for action. These findings shed light on PFAA cycling in the cryosphere and inform policy responses .

"Demographic and geographical determinants of human olfactory perception of 909 individuals inhabiting 16 regions" www.cell.com/iscience/ful...

@cp-iscience.bsky.social
Anna Oleszkiewicz & colleagues

Highlights: Olfactory perception of 909 people from 16 regions was evaluated. Human perception of odors appears to be quite similar world wide. Olfactory perception worldwide is better differentiated by intensity than hedonics. Age and gender had a limited impact on individual perception of odor.
