Many plant names are offensive: botanists will vote on

whether to change them


Researchers at an international meeting will also consider how to monitor names that have
problematic roots.

The geneticist who uses science to free parents wrongly convicted of killing
their children
Carola Vinuesa describes how her career changed after identifying a genetic mutation that
helped to secure the freedom of Kathleen Folbigg, who was serving a 30-year jail term for killing
her four children.

Things fall into place: how plants sense and respond to gravity
How plants sense their orientation in relation to gravity and steer their root and shoot growth
accordingly is not fully understood. The discovery of key steps needed for this process fills in
some of the gaps in our knowledge.

A minimalistic model achieves long-range explainable El Niño forecasts with
high accuracy
A conceptual model provides accurate forecasts of the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO)
climate phenomenon 16–18 months in advance, outperforming global climate models and
rivalling the best forecasts using artificial-intelligence methods. The model quantifies the effects
of ocean climate patterns on ENSO predictability.

Reverse engineering spinal-cord injury
A compilation of four single-cell and spatial atlases of spinal-cord injury in mice enables
researchers to uncover the principles governing biological responses to such injuries. These
discoveries are used to develop a gene therapy that can restore neurological functions in mice.

High-resolution atlas of the developing, adult and diseased human brain
vasculature
The brain vasculature is important for the developing and mature human brain, and it plays
crucial parts in several brain pathologies. Single-cell RNA sequencing enabled the construction
of a single-cell atlas of the fetal, adult healthy and adult diseased human brain vasculature,
uncovering its molecular architecture and heterogeneity, and capturing reactivated fetal
programs as well as conserved properties in the diseased vascular endothelium.
