Scientists have just upended decades of thinking on aging, revealing that an overactive immune system — not just DNA damage — may be driving rapid-aging diseases, and that dialing it back could restore tissue function. Meanwhile, researchers at WEHI have uncovered a hidden mechanism controlling how the body stores sugar, potentially reshaping how we treat diabetes worldwide. A stunning reexamination of 540-million-year-old fossils from Brazil has flipped what scientists thought they knew about early animal life, while a newly discovered chemical fingerprint could give us an entirely new way to detect life on other planets. Closer to home, a heart risk factor affecting one in five people is going largely undetected, a new therapy is rewiring brain circuits to restore the ability to feel joy, and quantum mechanics just got a whole lot stranger.
