MMSDH facilitates ACSL4 propionylation to counteract ferroptosis upon hypoxia and impairs PDAC chemotherapy efficacy

Nature Cancer, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s43018-026-01236-w

Zheng et al. describe how hypoxia-induced methylmalonate semialdehyde dehydrogenase lactylation promotes acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 propionylation and degradation, thereby suppressing ferroptosis induced by chemotherapy, and develop a blocking peptide that increased chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Cusp-singularity-enhanced Coriolis effect for sensitive chip-scale gyroscopes

Nature, Published online: 20 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10565-w

By using singularity physics to enable cubic-root scaling of frequency and phase modulations induced by the Coriolis effect to enhance the performance of chip-scale Coriolis vibratory gyroscopes, substantial improvements in signal-to-noise ratio and precision are demonstrated.

Androgen activity in the male embryonic hindbrain drives lethal PFA ependymoma

Nature, Published online: 25 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10264-6

Androgen activity in the male embryonic hindbrain prolongs hindbrain differentiation in male individuals and drives sex differences in the incidence and prognosis of posterior fossa type A (PFA) ependymoma, an aggressive childhood brain tumour.
