- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7205) Peer-ReviewedDNA methylation is essential for normal development (1-3) and has been implicated in many pathologies including cancer (4, 5). Our knowledge about the genome-wide distribution of DNA methylation, how it changes during...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7205) Peer-ReviewedFew cheap, man-made membranes have holes of uniform size. This makes them either inefficient or unreliable sieves of particles such as viruses. But membranes are also one of the least energy-intensive separation devices....

- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7205) Peer-ReviewedAgeing and the mortality that ensues are sustainable for the species only if age is reset in newborns. In budding yeast, buds are made young whereas ageing factors, such as carbonylated proteins and DNA circles, remain...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 454, Issue 7205) Peer-ReviewedFermionic superfluidity requires the formation of particle pairs, the size of which varies from the femtometre scale in neutron stars and nuclei to the micrometre scale in conventional superconductors. Many properties of...
