Connectome simulations identify a central pattern generator for fly walking

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11195-y][1]

Computational simulations of a neural network based on fly connectomes identify a three-neuron circuit that is organized to produce leg motor rhythms for walking.

Perinatal elimination of genetically aberrant human cortical neurons

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11190-3][1]

Single-neuron sequencing shows that widespread genomic abnormalities are common prenatally but largely eliminated around birth, indicating developmental genome quality control in human neurons.

Tandem repeat variation shapes immune cell type-specific gene expression

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10438-2][1]

Whole-genome sequencing and cell-level gene expression measurements show that length variation in tandem repeats in the human genome contributes to cell type-specific differences in gene regulation and expression, as well as the architecture of complex traits.

Stone and water governed early human settlement of the desert

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11180-5][1]

A geoarchaeological survey of the Rub’ al Khali (the Empty Quarter of Arabia) and spatial modelling of the Arabian Peninsula suggest that human settlement tracked the co-occurrence of water and stone suitable for making tools, rather than water alone.

Ribbon made of carbon pentagons and heptagons has metallic properties

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03298-3][1]

Ribbons that are composed exclusively of five- and seven-carbon rings have metal-like electron transport and conductance. The ribbons can be synthesized by linking previously inaccessible chains of paired five-membered rings, providing a route to making highly conducting carbon nanoribbons.

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03288-5][1]

A previously unknown mechanism required for cells to start proliferating has been identified. A combination of mathematical modelling and cell-based experiments shows that the enzyme WEE1 switches off a protein-degradation complex to allow cell proliferation to start, with implications for WEE1 inhibitors currently in trials for cancer treatments.

Clues about complex life come from freshly cultivated archaea

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03294-7][1]

Two archaeal strains that belong to a lineage closely related to the ancestor of eukaryotic cells (complex cells with membrane-bound organelles) have been brought into culture. Their simple internal organization, elaborate surface structures, microbial partnerships and protein-dependent lifestyle provide clues about how eukaryotic cells arose.

Tethered to stone: how rock and water availability shaped early desert occupation

Nature, Published online: 28 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03263-0][1]

Fresh water in deserts often points to sites with signs of early humans and stone tools. But, in Arabia’s Rub’ al Khali region, water alone does not predict occupation.

The contribution of salt marshes to wave attenuation during extreme storms

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11145-8][1]

Salt marsh platforms resist erosion under extreme waves, but vegetation damage reduces wave attenuation; substantial wave attenuation by vegetation is mainly limited to low-energy marsh coasts with waves below 1 m.

Multimodal precision diagnostics in clinical xenotransplantation

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/s41586-026-11096-0][1]

Now that hyperacute rejection of pig xenografts can be reliably prevented, subtler immune-mediated graft injuries have emerged that conventional diagnostics often miss; a multimodal precision diagnostic framework is proposed to detect these injuries earlier, guide personalized immunosuppression and inform future gene editing strategies.

Cave stalagmites document global patterns in monsoon rainfall over the past 450,000 years

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03285-8][1]

A 450,000-year stalagmite record of rainfall in the Amazon Basin , combined with existing Asian records, shows that the global monsoon system has oscillated regularly, strengthening in one hemisphere while weakening in the other. However, during intervals of warmth and warming climate, monsoons in both hemispheres failed for millennia.

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03066-3][1]

In nematodes, a metabolite induced by the cold links low temperatures to a body-wide signal that promotes longevity. This signalling system is also seen in human cells.

Can plants defend coasts against storms?

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03063-6][1]

Salt-marsh plants can protect inland areas against huge waves — but seemingly only up to a point, and big storms cause progressive damage.

Plastics embedded with enzymes degrade readily in the sea

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03282-x][1]

Embedding enzymes that break down ester bonds into compostable polyesters enables rapid and complete biodegradation even in microbe-scarce environments. This method is effective in marine sites ranging from coastal sea water to the deep sea, and could therefore contribute towards solving the global plastic pollution problem.

An AI tool improves weather forecasts up to a month ahead

Nature, Published online: 21 October 2026; [doi:10.1038/d41586-026-03077-0][1]

An innovative artificial-intelligence application enhances weather forecasting in the difficult subseasonal range, providing accurate forecasts of precipitation, temperature and pressure 3–5 weeks in advance. The tool refines both physics- and AI-based weather models and improves the early prediction of extremes of heat, cold, rainfall and flooding.
