Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell, and Shimon Sakaguchi won the 2025 Nobel Prize for discoveries on immune tolerance. Their work explains how the body prevents T-cells from attacking its own tissues. Sakaguchi found regulatory T-cells, or T-regs, which act as the immune system’s brakes. Brunkow and Ramsdell identified the FoxP3 gene, vital for T-reg development and self-tolerance. “These cells stop autoimmunity but also help cancers hide,” said Prof Adrian Liston. The findings led to new treatments for autoimmune diseases, transplants, and cancer therapy. “This prize was long overdue,” said Prof Adrian Hayday.

A roadmap for nutrition and sustainability By 2050, every person could access nutritious, culturally appropriate food while reducing environmental harm. The 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy Diets From Sustainable Food Systems presents the “planetary health diet” as a solution.

Currently, roughly 30% of emissions come from producing, processing, and transporting food. Most of the rest comes…
