Scrambled RNA nudges millions of people towards type 2 diabetes, research reveals
Mutations in a single gene, HNF1A, are known to cause MODY3, a rare, early-onset form of diabetes. Smaller-scale mutations in the very same gene are also common and quietly nudge millions of people toward type 2 diabetes. A study published in Cell Metabolism reveals why.

Why Do MLLMs Struggle with Spatial Understanding? A Systematic Analysis from Data to Architecture
Spatial understanding is essential for Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to support perception, reasoning, and planning in embodied environments. Despite recent progress, existing studies reveal that MLLMs still struggle with spatial understanding. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of these limitations, often restricted to isolated scenarios, such as single-view or video. In this work, we present a systematic analysis of spatial understanding from…
