- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedAuthor Affiliations: 10.1038/nnano.2008.410 Osteoarthritis is difficult to detect in its earliest stages because the joint cartilage shows no obvious signs of degeneration. Martin Stolz at Biozentrum, University of...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedNO: Science and society do not benefit Are there some areas of potential knowledge that scientists should not seek out? Or, if they do, should they keep the knowledge secret, hidden from the hoi polloi? Certainly...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedBoron is an element of fascinating chemical complexity. Controversies have shrouded this element since its discovery was announced in 1808: the new 'element' turned out to be a compound containing less than 60-70% of...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedSome bacterial species have L-forms that lack a cell wall, which is intriguing for many reasons, one being that the cell wall was thought to be crucial to bacterial reproduction. L-forms--named after the Lister Institute...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedAuthor(s): Susan E. Hough 1 Author Affiliations: (1) US Geological Survey, Pasadena, A seismologist considers a new method of earthquake prediction. I am acutely aware that numerous methods of earthquake...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedHaematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are the founder cells of the adult haematopoietic system, and thus knowledge of the molecular program directing their generation during development is important for regenerative...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedWorld's telescopes rated by citation count. www.nature.com/news...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedSIR--In my book, Freaks of Nature: What Anomalies Tell Us About Development and Evolution, I argue that our understanding of biodiversity and evolutionary change is enhanced by looking beyond mutations and population...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedPlant domestication is an outstanding example of plant-animal co-evolution and is a far richer model for studying evolution than is generally appreciated. There have been numerous studies to identify genes associated...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedJ. Geophys. Res. doi:10.1029/2008JG000802 (2009) Ancient polar forests may have influenced Earth's climate to a greater extent than previously thought, according to a study of five modern relatives of species that grew...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedDespite decades of research, the identity of the cells generating the first haematopoietic cells in mammalian embryos is unknown (1). Indeed, whether blood cells arise from mesodermal cells, mesenchymal progenitors,...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedAuthor Affiliations: A leading theory for the evolution of the Universe's structure explains how lumpy galaxies formed after matter was evenly distributed by a relatively smooth Big Bang. 'Cold dark matter' models...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedDo new anatomical structures arise de novo, or do they evolve from pre-existing structures? Advances in developmental genetics, palaeontology and evolutionary developmental biology have recently shed light on the origins...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedDoes it float or sink? And to what extent? The answers to these questions can be used to follow the course of chemical reactions on solid supports, and are obtained simply by using two magnets, a salt solution and a...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedNature Chem. Biol. doi:10.1038/nchembio.146 (2009) Zinc activates an ion channel that also responds to pungent foods such as wasabi and cinnamon, possibly explaining why zinc overexposure causes pain and inflammation....
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedAuthor Affiliations: For skin, liver or stomach cells to behave like embryonic stem cells, researchers have so far had to add to them at least three genes that have been linked to cancer. But only one such gene, which...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedSIR--In his Correspondence 'Choosing between batteries or biomass to stay on the road' (Nature 457, 257; 2009), Lucien Trueb presents figures that do rough justice to the potential of the battery-powered car. The fully...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedA major yet unresolved quest in decoding the human genome is the identification of the regulatory sequences that control the spatial and temporal expression of genes. Distant-acting transcriptional enhancers are...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 457, Issue 7231) Peer-ReviewedAngew. Chem. Int. Edn doi:10.1002/anie.200804853 (2009) Chemical hallmarks of certain explosives can be quickly identified by the loss of a characteristic glow in a very porous material. The metal-organic framework...
