Jeff Goldblum says filming Wicked inspired him to give up meat and adopt a vegetarian diet.The film’s themes of animal oppression led him to rethink cruelty and embrace plant-based living.He plans a meat-free holiday season, which can be made easy with veggie mains and casseroles. Wicked: For Good comes out next week, and we’re counting down the days. In the meantime, we’re keeping up with the stars of the anticipated sequel, which includes Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Oz himself, Jeff Goldblum. All three of these stars have something in common, and it’s not just their impressive acting and singing…

In the past three years, a parade of highly accomplished researchers has emigrated there. Wolfgang Baumeister, a molecular biologist, started working in China in 2019, following nearly three decades at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich, Germany.Baumeister is the pioneer of cryogenic-electron tomography, which enables researchers to construct 3D images of large molecules and the insides of cells. For this work, he was awarded Hong Kong’s Shaw Prize for life science and medicine this year. Now based at the iHuman…

Researchers homed in on what primes B cells to become autoreactive.Image credit:©iStock.com, luismmolinaIn the 13th century, unusual skin lesions resembling wolf bites led to the term “lupus,” meaning “wolf” in Latin. These symptoms also took the form of a butterfly across the face and to other parts of the body, hinting at a deeper, more complex condition. Centuries later, researchers provided evidence of lupus as an autoimmune disease, in which overactive T and B cells turn against one’s own body.Upon activation, B cells undergo differentiation through the germinal center (GC) or extrafollicular (EF) pathways. Notably, those from the EF pathway…
Here are 10 types of vegetables to include in a low-fiber diet.1. PotatoesPotatoes have a relatively low fiber content. A half cup of boiled potatoes without skin contains about 2.7 g of fiber.[4]Sweet potatoes are similar to potatoes in terms of fiber, but may be higher in certain vitamins and minerals. A half cup of boiled sweet potatoes without skin contains about 3.8 g of dietary fiber.[5]2. AsparagusAsparagus is another great choice for those aiming for low fiber options. It also cooks to a soft consistency, increasing digestibility.If you’re especially sensitive to fiber, opt for just the tops of asparagus…

lncRNAs. [Simon Müller and Wen-Wei Liang] At Thursday morning’s AMP conference session, attendees filled the room to hear Rong Fan, PhD, professor of pathology at Yale University, present a sweeping vision for how single-cell and spatial omics technologies may redefine the future of molecular pathology. Fan framed his talk, Decoding RNA Biology in Space: Toward the Future of Molecular Pathology, around a central challenge: the limitations of traditional histopathology and the enormous opportunity in layering molecular information directly onto tissue images. His frequent collaborator, Yale pathologist Mina Xu, MD, provided a running example. “She diagnoses patients by looking at the…
Functional candy for kids is set to be a hot trend (Sasiistock/Image: Getty/Sasilstock)This year, there has been a shift towards more targeted child supplements designed to meet specific health needs, such as immunity, gut health, and metabolic health, while being carefully tailored to age-appropriate requirements. Data from Mintel Reports China, Purchasing Food and Drink for Children, 2025 showed that 57% of Chinese parents are most concerned about their children’s weight, signaling broader concerns around their kids’ metabolic health.Yunn Lim, senior analyst of food science at Mintel, told NI that upcoming shifts in childhood nutrition could surround snackified products, such as…
Most of us know how miserable a sleepless night feels the next morning. But beyond grogginess and brain fog, what does chronic insomnia actually mean for your long-term brain health? A new study suggests the impact is much more serious than we once thought.

Whether they’re building sea walls or coral nurseries, or helping to create rich records of flooding events and cultural artefacts, coastal locals are shoring up their neighbourhoods. Scientists Taukiei Kitara from Tuvalu, Hannah Eisler Burnett from New York City and Apple Chui from Hong Kong are working to ensure that the people…
