Science News Roundup: Corrections, Regeneration Research, and Olympic Preparations
Recent scientific developments include a correction to a published study, insights into skin regeneration, and updates on preparations for the upcoming Olympic Games.
A correction was issued for a Nature article concerning the cotranslational assembly of protein complexes in eukaryotes, specifically addressing errors in Extended Data Figures 2a and 4d. According to Nature News, the errors were due to a mistake during figure preparation that resulted in misannotated strains. The corrected figures are now available, and the authors stated that these changes do not affect the overall results or conclusions of the study, which investigates protein quality control and chaperone activity. The original article was published on August 29, 2018.
In other research, scientists are gaining a better understanding of how rete ridges form in the skin, potentially leading to advancements in skin regeneration. Nature News highlighted research on this topic, alongside other scientific advancements such as genetically engineered stinkweed for making seed oil and the use of open-source AI for scientific literature reviews.
Meanwhile, preparations are underway for the 2026 Olympic Games in Milan, including the construction of the Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena. According to Time, the arena, which will host men's and women's hockey competitions, is still under construction. The area surrounding the facility is described as muddy and filled with construction equipment. Despite the ongoing work, the arena appears on track to host the hockey tournament, which will welcome NHL players back into the Olympic fold after a 12-year absence.
