Summary

Scientists have overturned a 60-year-old understanding of collagen's structure, potentially unlocking new treatments for fibrosis and cancer, while researchers have also cracked the mystery behind why statins cause muscle pain in millions of patients. In astrophysics, two independent experiments have dealt a major blow to a decades-old dark matter detection claim, and astronomers have found a new way to track supermassive black holes that have been violently ejected from their home galaxies. A 450-million-year-old fossil with preserved soft tissue has given scientists an unprecedented look at ancient reef life, and new DNA research suggests your disgust at eating insects may be written into your genes. From a promising new antibody targeting aggressive prostate cancer to chimpanzees potentially performing ritual behavior, this week's discoveries span the full frontier of science.
