- Daily briefing: Is a nine-to-five PhD possible?
Nature reports on PhD students adapting to a standard nine-to-five work schedule, differences in gene activity between male and female brain cells, and a new method for producing DNA. The article was published online on 17 April 2026.
- Revealed: how male and female brain cells differ in gene activity
A study published in Nature on 16 April 2026 reveals differences in gene activity between male and female brain cells, which may explain varying risks of brain diseases by sex. Variations in gene expression could underlie sex-based disparities in neurological conditions.
