Height in early adulthood is an indicator that integrates across different dimensions of sustainable human development with links to health and longevity, nutrition, education and economic productivity.

Using genetics, it is possible to uncouple higher adiposity from its adverse metabolic effects and show that some obesity-associated conditions may benefit from treating the metabolic effects alone, whilst others may benefit more from weight loss.

The Digital Brain Bank (open.win.ox.ac.uk/DigitalBrainBank) provides curated post-mortem imaging datasets for neuroanatomy, neuropathology, and comparative neuroanatomy investigations, with the first release containing 21 distinctive whole-brain diffusion MRI datasets, alongside microscopy and complementary MRI modalities.

Application of museomics facilitates characterization of the contribution of historical factors to genetic diversity declines in Numenius shorebirds and highlights that extinction of ecosystem-engineering megafauna may have been detrimental for open-landscape species.

Increased genetic liability to colorectal cancer is associated with altered levels of circulating metabolites, including fatty acids, up to 40 years before average age of diagnosis.

A new nomenclature convention for mammalian cell types utilizing shared taxonomies and quantitative cell features is applied to high-quality, open data from the mouse and human brain.

Dual resin casting of multiple lumenized systems followed by microCT allows visualization, digitalization, and quantification of architectural parameters defining the vascular and biliary systems in liver revealing new phenotypes.

A synaptic resolution somatotopic map of nearly all mechanosensory neurons on the Drosophila head that individually elicit aimed grooming of specific head locations and collectively elicit a head grooming sequence.

Comprehensive characterization of kinase-dependent phosphorylation in the human pathogen Toxoplasma gondii identifies a trafficking adaptor complex required for virulence factor secretion and infection.

Exceptionally preserved small shelly fossils (SSFs) from the early Cambrian Kuanchuanpu Formation (535 million years ago) reveal the muscular system of ancient cnidarians.
