Transparent peer review to be extended to all of Nature’s research papers From today, all new submissions to Nature that are published will be accompanied by referees’ reports and author responses — to illuminate the process of producing rigorous science.

From today, every paper submitted to Nature -if published - will be accompanied by peer reviewers comments & authors rebuttal.

We started the trial in 2020; we now want to open up the review process & showcase its role in shaping & improving papers

Gender and sex interactions are intrinsic components of cancer phenotypes - Nature Reviews Cancer In this Perspective, Joshua Rubin emphasizes the importance of gender–sex interaction (GSI) differences in cancer biology and clinical parameters to enhance precision medicine. He outlines the challenges and opportunities of integrating GSI effects into personalized oncology and argues that optimal outcomes require extending our current molecular approaches to include family history, life history and individual vulnerabilities in our diverse groups of patients with cancer.
