No Raw Data, No Science
Another possible source of the reproducibility crisis.
In this editorial, Molecular Brain editor-in-chief Tsuyoshi Miyakawa argues that missing raw data may be one of the most important—and overlooked—causes of the reproducibility crisis in biomedical research. After flagging 41 manuscripts whose results appeared "too good to be true," he asked the authors to provide the underlying data supporting their findings. Only one manuscript ultimately supplied sufficient raw data. More than half of the authors withdrew their papers rather than produce the data, while nearly all of the remainder submitted incomplete or inconsistent records.

Macroclimbing
Our heritage is deeply rooted in both climbing and bipedalism, i.e., both swinging from the trees and functioning on two feet.
This article introduces macroclimbing, a style of training that develops the pulling strength, coordination, grip, and athleticism required for climbing. Using tools such as ropes, cargo nets, and Bachar ladders, Coach Glassman expands the range of climbing movements beyond traditional pull-ups, creating workouts that better prepare athletes for real-world challenges such as climbing, grappling, and navigating obstacles.

Serotonin: Effects in disease, aging and inflammation
Serotonin may play a larger role in stress and chronic disease than commonly believed.
In this post, Ray Peat presents serotonin not as a "happiness hormone," but as a stress-related signal that helps organisms cope with adverse conditions by slowing metabolism, conserving energy, and suppressing activity. He argues that many of serotonin's effects resemble those seen in hibernation and other defensive physiological states, where survival is prioritized over growth, repair, and optimal function.

Ketogenic Therapy for Pediatric Glioma
A keto diet enhanced the effectiveness of two metabolic cancer therapies in aggressive pediatric brain tumors
In this new study, Thomas Seyfried and colleagues used nutritional ketosis to improve treatment outcomes in pediatric high-grade glioma, one of the deadliest childhood cancers. Using juvenile mouse models, the researchers combined a ketogenic diet with two drugs—mebendazole, an antiparasitic drug with anticancer properties, and devimistat (CPI-613), a metabolic therapy that targets mitochondrial fuel utilization. The ketogenic diet consistently enhanced the effectiveness of both drugs, leading to slower tumor progression, reduced invasion into the

Aliens Cause Global Warming
Michael Crichton argues that the rise of consensus science threatens the open debate and skepticism that drive progress.
In this 2003 lecture at Caltech, Michael Crichton traces what he sees as a troubling shift in the relationship between science and public policy. Using examples ranging from the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) to nuclear winter, second-hand smoke, and global warming, he argues that speculative ideas can acquire the appearance of scientific certainty long before the underlying evidence justifies it. According to Crichton, the problem begins when untestable assumptions, computer models, and advocacy efforts are treated as substitutes for direct observation and reproducible results.

Presenilin 1 Regulates Mitochondrial Cristae Formation
The protein most commonly linked to inherited Alzheimer's disease appears to play a critical role in organizing mitochondrial cristae.
This preprint investigates presenilin 1 (PS1), the protein most commonly mutated in familial Alzheimer's disease, and finds that its role extends well beyond amyloid production. Using genetically engineered HEK293 cells lacking PS1, the researchers showed that a portion of the protein resides within the mitochondrial inner mem
