Earth’s sinking surface Science (IF 56.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-19 Robert J. Nicholls, Manoochehr Shirzaei
Subsidence, the lowering of Earth’s land surface, is a widespread and sometimes dramatic process. Potentially 19% of the global population is at high risk of being affected by this process (1). Such sinking is caused by a range of natural or anthropogenic factors, including human-induced underground fluid withdrawal, which is generally considered the most important driver. However, present understanding

Sentinels of the airways Science (IF 56.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-19 Ziai Zhu, Xin Sun
The respiratory tract is essential for breathing but is also important for detecting and responding to inhaled harmful (noxious) stimuli, such as pollutants, pathogens, water, and acid. Neuroendocrine cells (NECs)—rare epithelial cells that share characteristics with neurons—are an integral component of this sensory surveillance system (1). Although NECs have been proposed to act as airway sentinels

Reprioritizing motivations in addiction Science (IF 56.9) Pub Date : 2024-04-19 E. Zayra Millan, Gavan P. McNally
Drug addictions are a leading global cause of health and economic burden, with opioids responsible for 80% of drug use–related deaths (1). Persistent drug use is accompanied by profound motivational reprioritization (2), with decision-making skewed toward drug use at the expense of other activities (3), often with little recognition of adverse consequences (4). These impacts owe, at least in part,
