![Figure 1 - The figure illustrates the diversity and multi-scale nature of the structures in the Galaxy. The first two lines are real astronomical images, which go from the galactic disk itself and down to the planet-forming disks. The last two lines are generated from numerical simulations and aim to understand and interpret the observations.

Predictive modelling of galactic star and planet formation
This article details advancements in our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, emphasising the transition from steady-state models to recognising the dynamic nature of the interstellar medium (ISM) in these processes.
What makes GLP1 receptor agonist drugs so effective for obesity?
Michael W. Schwartz, MD, discusses the effectiveness of GLP1 receptor agonist drugs, such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, in treating obesity as well as the role of gut-brain signaling in maintaining energy homeostasis.
Defining a region: The march of Wales
Principal Investigator, Professor Helen Fulton, Chair of Medieval Literature at the University of Bristol, explores a collaborative project which aims to revitalise a forgotten British borderland.
Empowering the disempowered: Remote pregnancy monitoring for hard-to-reach populations
Tobias R. Kollmann, Professor at Dalhousie University, and Nima Aghaeepour, Professor at Stanford University, examine remote pregnancy monitoring for hard-to-reach populations.
4D dynamic earth: Advancing our understanding of the planet’s interior
B.C. (Bart) Root, an Assistant Professor at Delft University of Technology, discusses the 4D Dynamic Earth: Phase 1 project, which is enhancing our understanding of the planet’s interior.
Spot farming: A novel concept for sustainable and climate-resilient crop production
Prof Dr Jens Karl Wegener from the Julius Kühn Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, discusses Spot Farming, which he considers a novel concept for sustainable and climate-resilient crop production.
Europe’s mineral raw materials challenge: balancing strategic needs with environmental protection
W. Eberhard Falck and Vitor Correia of the International Raw Materials Observatory examine the EU’s challenges in securing mineral raw materials while protecting the environment and ensuring democratic governance.
Prioritizing skeletal muscle health for successful aging
Kevin A. Murach, Ph.D. at the University of Arkansas, talks us through prioritizing skeletal muscle health for successful aging, beginning with a primer on skeletal muscle aging.
Protection from occupational heat stress amid rising global temperatures
Prof Luana Main emphasises that as extreme heat events become more frequent due to rising global temperatures, immediate action is essential to protect workers through evidence-based and context-specific risk mitigation strategies and solutions.
CROPS4LIFE Project: Towards the decarbonisation of the agri-food system in Vitoria-Gasteiz
The CROPS4LIFE project aims to decarbonise the agri-food system, enhancing the city’s sustainability efforts. Currently, only 1.5% of fresh food consumed locally is sourced from the region. The project promotes a transition to a local, agroecological food system, focusing on short supply chains and generational renewal in farming.
Protecting the environment and human health from persistent, mobile, and toxic substances
PMT substances pose a worrying impact to human health and the environment. This article highlights why it’s crucial to recognize the need for integrated prevention and remediation strategies to effectively combat the challenges these pollutants present.
Leadless pacemakers: Minimizing infections of cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators
