Nature study turns research papers into tested MCP agents

A peer-reviewed Nature paper introduces Paper2Agent, a system that converts computational research papers, code and supplementary material into tested MCP servers that an AI agent can call through natural language. In case studies spanning genomics and single-cell analysis, the generated tools reproduced reference outputs and handled new queries, although the evaluation covers a small set of computational papers rather than science in general.

Human cortical organoids form working circuits in cortex-depleted mice

A peer-reviewed Nature study transplanted human stem-cell-derived cortical organoids into mice genetically engineered to lack most cortical and hippocampal glutamatergic neurons. The grafts occupied much of the vacant cortical space, formed organised activity and connected into the host nervous system, creating a new in-vivo model for human neurodevelopment and injury.

Half-century satellite record puts polar ice loss at 11.3 trillion tonnes

A peer-reviewed Scientific Data assessment combining 42 independent estimates from 27 satellite missions finds Greenland and Antarctica lost 11,309 ± 565 billion tonnes of ice from 1979 to 2023. The authors attribute 84% of the combined loss to glacier dynamical imbalance rather than surface mass balance.
