- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedMuch genetic variation between individuals may lie in regions of the genome containing areas of structural diversity. A new study reveals more than 1,700 such regions, nearly half of which had not been previously...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedAstronom. J. 135, 1968-1981 (2008) It is the ultimate chicken and egg problem: Which came first, galaxies' stars or the black holes at their centres? David Alexander from Durham University, UK, and his collaborators...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedSIR--The decision made by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, that only countries committed to donating funds will be allowed to join its standing committee on science and technology, is laudable and newsworthy....
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedClimate change is often viewed as a phenomenon that will develop in the coming century. But its effects are already being seen, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently projected that, even in the next...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedRNA localization is important for the establishment and maintenance of polarity in multiple cell types. Localized RNAs are usually transported along microtubules or actin filaments (1) and become anchored at their...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedThe California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) has been making up for lost time. It didn't award a single grant until more than a year after California taxpayers voted it into existence, because lawsuits were...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedA hot topic in organic chemistry is the development of ways to neatly home in on a particular chemical group and cause a reaction to proceed extremely efficiently under mild conditions. Such highly optimized reactions...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedSIR--Your Editorial about the current state of Spanish science (Nature 451, 1029; 2008) suggests that 'A new Silver Age' is possible. Although Spain's research investment, at 1.1% of gross domestic product, is still...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedVIENNA A unique drilling project in the western Ross Sea has revealed that Antarctica had a much more eventful climate history than previously assumed. A new sediment core hints that the western part of the...

- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedThe fertile imagination of John Archibald Wheeler, who died on 13 April aged 96, roamed from the properties of atomic nuclei to the physics of nuclear explosions; from the quantum mechanics of exotic atoms to the...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-dependent transcription factor best known for mediating the toxicity of dioxin (1). Environmental factors are believed to contribute to the increased prevalence of...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedAs physicist Richard Feynman famously observed: "Nobody understands quantum mechanics." Whereas classical physics mirrors our everyday experiences--we can comprehend the idea of a tennis ball's velocity and apply...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7191) Peer-ReviewedAll metazoan cells carry transmembrane receptors of the integrin family, which couple the contractile force of the actomyosin cytoskeleton to the extracellular environment. In agreement with this principle, rapidly...
