A joint analysis by Scientific American and STAT News identifies a pair of immune signals—CXCL10 and interferon‑γ—that appear elevated in the rare cases of myocarditis following mRNA COVID‑19 vaccination, and laboratory work shows these cytokines can be blocked in mice. The findings help explain why the heart inflammation is exceedingly uncommon yet biologically plausible, offering a potential pathway for targeted therapies.

First Non‑Profit Gene Therapy Wins FDA Approval
STAT News reports that the FDA has granted approval to Waskyra, a gene‑editing treatment for Wiskott‑Aldrich syndrome, marking the first time a charitable organization—not a pharmaceutical company—has secured market entry for a rare‑disease therapy. The approval underscores both the scientific promise of gene‑editing and the financial hurdles that have driven many firms away from ultra‑rare indications.

Defining a Healthy Gut Microbiome at Scale
A massive cohort study of over 34,000 participants, highlighted by New Scientist, delineates the bacterial taxa most strongly associated with metabolic health, immune balance, and mental well‑being, moving the field beyond vague “diversity” metrics toward a concrete microbial signature of wellness. Researchers suggest the profile could guide personalized nutrition and probiotic interventions.

Gas Stoves Linked to Half of U.S. NO₂ Exposure
Inside Climate News cites a new PNAS Nexus analysis showing that indoor nitrogen dioxide from gas‑fired cooking appliances accounts for more than 50 % of exposure for many Americans, a pollutant tied to asthma exacerbations and reduced lung function. The study calls for stricter ventilation standards and broader public awareness of indoor air quality.

Synthetic Food Chemicals Impose $2.2 Trillion Health Burden
A report covered by The Guardian warns that ubiquitous additives such as phthalates, bisphenols, pesticides, and PFAS are linked to cancer, infertility, and neurodevelopmental disorders, imposing a global health cost comparable to the earnings of the world’s 100 largest corporations. The authors urge regulators to tighten safety thresholds and accelerate safer alternatives.

Engineered Mosquitoes Offer New Hope Against Malaria
Nature describes a breakthrough where genetically modified Anopheles mosquitoes are rendered incapable of transmitting Plasmodium parasites, providing a self‑sustaining, population‑wide barrier that could complement existing bed‑net and drug strategies across sub‑Saharan Africa. Field trials are slated to begin next year pending community consent.

Research reported by ScienceNews.org reveals that Peruvian vampire bats harbor antibodies to the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus, indicating past infection and raising concerns that the virus may acquire mammalian adaptations that facilitate human transmission. Experts stress intensified surveillance of bat populations worldwide.

Twin Black Holes May Have Torn Apart a Distant Star
Live Science recounts the detection of a faint, variable X‑ray flare (XID 925) that could represent the most distant observed episode of a star being ripped apart sequentially by two supermassive black holes, a scenario that, if confirmed, would illuminate extreme gravitational dynamics in the early universe.

A feature article in ScienceAlert spotlights a new class of massive gas giants—dubbed “Super‑Jupiters”—whose inflated radii and unusual orbital characteristics challenge existing theories of planetary formation and migration, prompting astronomers to revise models of disk‑driven accretion.

Amazon Forest Shifts Toward a “Hypertropical” Regime
Live Science reports that climate projections indicate the Amazon could experience up to 150 days of extreme hot‑drought per year by 2100, ushering a “hypertropical” climate unseen for millions of years and threatening massive tree die‑offs that would exacerbate global carbon loss.
