- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedDNA can undergo changes not only in sequence, but also by the addition or removal of chemical groups. Such 'epigenetic' changes affect gene regulation and are thought to be involved in many diseases. Daniele Fallin and...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedTwo former employees of the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico-- physicist Pedro Leonardo Mascheroni, 75, and his wife, Marjorie Roxby Mascheroni, 67--were arrested on 17 September and charged with offering...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedThe 1895 radiograph showing the bones and wedding ring of Wilhelm Rontgen's wife's hand famously demonstrated the penetrating power of X-rays. Along with the very short wavelength of X-rays, this capacity to 'see into'...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedThe eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull this April, and the month-long havoc it caused in the skies over Europe, was a salutary lesson in how susceptible our global, interconnected society is to natural...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedInspired by the natural design of the Hercules beetle, researchers have created a film that changes colour according to the ambient humidity. In muggy weather, microscopic pockets in the insects shell trap water,...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedTranscription factors control cell-specific gene expression programs through interactions with diverse coactivators and the transcription apparatus. Gene activation may involve DNA loop formation between enhancer-bound...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedA global statement on the responsible conduct of research was released on 22 September by delegates who attended the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity in Singapore on 21-24 July. The statement...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedEscape from the Ivory Tower: A Guide to Making Your Science Matter Nancy Baron ISLAND PRESS 272 pp. $27.50 (2010) Communications trainer Nancy baron offers practical advice for scientists on how to deal with...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedGEOFF BRUMFIEL IN LONDON & MASON INMAN IN KARACHI Between political assassinations, transport strikes and campus protests that sometimes erupt in gunfire, research at the University of Karachi has often been a...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedX-ray tomography is an invaluable tool in biomedical imaging. It can deliver the three-dimensional internal structure of entire organisms as well as that of single cells, and even gives access to quantitative...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedEarthquake instability has long been attributed to fault weakening during accelerated slip (1), and a central question of earthquake physics is identifying the mechanisms that control this weakening (2). Even with much...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedChina is implementing tighter rules for palaeontological explorations, hoping to halt illicit trade in valuable specimens such as dinosaur bones. Historically, provinces have been able to issue permits for explorations...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedMagazines aren't dead! Those who look forward to a weekly package of material that they can read whenever and wherever it suits, and without the need to connect to the Internet and charge batteries, remain safe with...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedMessenger RNA lacking stop codons ('non-stop mRNA') can arise from errors in gene expression, and encode aberrant proteins whose accumulation could be deleterious to cellular function (1,2). In bacteria, these 'non-stop...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedThe Sun's planetary configuration seems ideally suited to the emergence of advanced life. Small, rocky planets lie in the pleasantly warm region close to the Sun. The giant, gas-rich planets orbit far enough away to...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedMeinrat Andreae walked into a clearing where a fallen parica tree had torn a hole in the canopy of the rainforest. He recorded the location on his Global Positioning System device and then paused to marvel at a blue...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedPain is inhibited by the binding of cannabinoid compounds with their receptor molecules. Now scientists have identified the endogenous cannabinoid responsible--anandamide. Unexpectedly, they have also shown that its...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedOne hallmark of Alzheimer's disease is the presence in patients' cerebrospinal fluid of high levels of a protein called tau, and of a specific phosphorylated version of tau known as [ptau.sub.181]. Researchers have now...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedGermany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is set for a budget increase of 7.2% to 11.65 billion [euro] (US$15.2 billion) under proposals for 2011, unveiled on 15 September--despite an overall fall in...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 467, Issue 7314) Peer-ReviewedA pancreas has been generated from rat stem cells inside a developing mouse that lacks the ability to produce a functioning pancreas of its own. Hiromitsu Nakauchi at the University of Tokyo and his colleagues...
