- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedAs alterations in tissue pH underlie many pathological processes, the capability to image tissue pH in the clinic could offer new ways of detecting disease and response to treatment (1). Dynamic nuclear polarization is...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedParasites are in the business of hijacking their hosts for their own purposes. A dramatic example is described by Amir Grosman and colleagues who studied behavioural changes induced in the Brazilian geometrid moth...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-Reviewed1.9 billion £ ($3.8 billion) is the estimated worth of unpaid peer review done worldwide, according to a UK report. 8.7% of that is donated by UK researchers, despite the fact that only ... 6.6% of journal articles...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedReasonable Rx: Solving the Drug Price Crisis by Stan Finkelstein and Peter Temin FT Press: 2008. 208 pp. $27.99 Pharmaceutical executives will find nothing reasonable in the provocative view offered in Reasonable...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedA significant fraction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome is transcribed periodically during the cell division cycle (1,2), indicating that properly timed gene expression is important for regulating cell-cycle...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedThose familiar with the game of pachinko--in which, in its simplest incarnation, little balls bounce and cascade chaotically through a regular lattice of pin-like obstacles--have some idea of what a current of electrons...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-Reviewed"NIH stands for the National Institutes of Health, not the National Institutes of Biomedical Research, or the National Institutes of Basic Biomedical Research." This jab, by molecular biologist Alan Schechter at the NIH,...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedAll organisms have to monitor the folding state of cellular proteins precisely. The heat- shock protein DegP is a protein quality control factor in the bacterial envelope that is involved in eliminating misfolded...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedThe News story 'No star left behind' (Nature 453, 437; 2008) misstated the number of constellations constructed for an index in star-matching software. The number of constellations is 800 million not 800,000. In the...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedChemists are now so skilled at making organic compounds that you might think that all the smallest molecules (containing fewer than 10 atoms) have been made and characterized. This might be true for stable molecules, but...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedThe 'certainty effect' (1,2) is a notable violation of expected utility theory by decision makers (3-6). It shows that people's tendency to select the safer of two prospects increases when this prospect provides a good...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedJ. Avian Biol. 39, 277-282 (2008) Most nestlings have cryptic plumage to reduce the odds that predators will see them, but chicks of a few species are brightly coloured. Why has been a mystery. Ismael Galvan of the...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedThe US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has handed out millions of dollars for companies to design a plane that can stay aloft for five years unattended....
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedScience 320, 1332-1336 (2008) Cellular structures as small as 100 nanometres can be viewed in three-dimensional (3D) colour images thanks to a technique that doubles the resolution of fluorescence light microscopy....
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedHuntington's disease is a heritable disorder that affects more than 1 in 10,000 people. Its associated neurological symptoms are severe, and there is no therapy to halt or slow its progress. To understand its pathology,...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedIt looks as though Phillip Robinson may achieve something most researchers don't dare to dream of--seeing his past decades' bench slog translate into a commercially available drug to treat conditions such as epilepsy....
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 453, Issue 7197) Peer-ReviewedJ. Exp. Biol. doi:10.1242/jeb.018531 (2008) The nautilus, the archaic cousin of octopus, cuttlefish and squid, has surprisingly good powers of recollection even though it lacks the dedicated brain regions for learning...
