Researchers from Switzerland have shown that patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) suffer poor sleep due to sleep fragmentation and wakefulness. Patients with the more severe form metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis (MASH) or with cirrhosis, but not healthy volunteers, experienced similar sleep disturbances. Whether poor sleep causes MASLD or vice versa isn’t yet clear. A single sleep hygiene education session proved insufficient to sustainably improve sleep quality and quantity.

Killer whales, including a male dubbed Moctezuma, have been spotted hunting whale sharks in coordinated attacks. Researchers think they may have gained special knowledge allowing them to hunt this way.
Institutional partnerships
The 2024 Charleston Conference, with its theme ‘The Sky’s the Limit,’ provided an inspiring platform to explore pivotal themes shaping the future of academic publishing. This year’s focus on Library partnership ratings (LPRs), community-driven open access initiatives, and artificial intelligence felt particularly timely, with these topics underscoring the challenges and opportunities ahead as the publishing ecosystem adapts to new realities.

Geneticists have studied the distribution of Y-chromosome haplogroups on the Faroe Islands, known to have been colonized by Vikings around the year 900 CE, and compared these to distributions of haplogroups in today’s Scandinavia. They showed with novel analysis methods that the haplotype distribution in the Faroe Islands most closely resembled that in Norway and Denmark, and to a lesser extent that in Sweden, but differed from that in Iceland. They concluded that a band of Viking men from all over Scandinavia colonized the Faroe Islands, which differed in their geographical origin and genetic make-up from those who settled Iceland.
