It sounds like an orca rampage. Over the past 6 years, killer whales have been ramming boats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal, sinking nine, and parading fiberglass remnants around like trophies. Vessels are frequently towed into shipyards with tooth rakes on their undersides and rudders ripped off, causing millions of dollars in damage.

Sailors have had enough. But are the giant cetaceans really out for blood?

Not according to a recent study: Based on underwater footage and firsthand observations, scientists conclude the killer whales aren't trying to harm humans. Instead, they probably just want to play.

Researchers have high hopes that genetically engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cells can treat and even cure autoimmune diseases such as lupus and multiple sclerosis by slaying the errant immune cells driving the conditions.

But the current methods for producing CAR-T cells, in which the cells are generated in a lab and then infused into patients, are slow and expensive, and the treatment itself can be dangerous.

A new clinical trial may point to a better way: Researchers say they have induced patients to generate their own CAR-T cells.

The treatment, which involves dosing people with a virus that genetically alters some of their T cells, didn't cause severe side effects in the 16 patients tested and showed early signs that it restored their immune systems to normal. Learn more: https://scim.ag/46RpVSd

For the first time in the Ig Nobel’s 36-year history, winners accepted their prizes in Zürich, not in the Boston area.

Last year’s event was marred by the absence of nearly half of the 10 winning teams, for reasons including visa restrictions and the research and border policies of U.S. President Donald Trump. As a result, the Igs—whose motto is to “first make people laugh, and then make them think”—made the difficult decision in March to change its location indefinitely.

As 's capabilities grow, researchers and publishers are exploring how it can support peer review—and where it still falls short.

Amid a shortage of human reviewers, tests indicate AI can assist—but is not a savior
