- Antimalarial-treated bed nets could stop parasites developing in mosquitoes
  
  In a fresh approach to blocking transmission of the malaria parasite by mosquitoes, potent antimalarial compounds that kill parasites in mosquitoes are incorporated into bed-net prototypes. Exposure to the compounds through bed-net contact prevents parasite development, even when infection takes place four days later.

Observing anyonization of bosons in a quantum gas

Emergent anyonic correlations via spinâ€“charge separation are observed in a one-dimensional strongly interacting quantum gas, enabling the exploration of non-equilibrium anyonic phenomena in a highly controllable setting.

Unravelling cysteine-deficiency-associated rapid weight loss

Conditional cysteine restriction in mice causes substantial weight loss, exceeding that seen with essential amino acid restriction, by activating the integrated stress and oxidative stress responses, and by unexpectedly depleting coenzyme A, leading to metabolic inefficiency.
