- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedIn April 1995, I sat with a group of nine Inupiaq and Yupik elders in the community centre in Koyuk, Alaska, documenting information that they had acquired--from experience, observation and previous generations--about...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedTranscription of the mitochondrial genome is performed by a single-subunit RNA polymerase (mtRNAP) that is distantly related to the RNAP of bacteriophage T7, the pol I family of DNA polymerases, and single-subunit RNAPs...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThe smell of a delicious stew often stimulates a man's appetite, but it rarely turns him on. Male Drosophila fruitflies, however, behave differently. On page 236 of this issue, Grosjean et al. (1) identify how...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedDuring the past decade, research into superconducting quantum bits (qubits) based on Josephson junctions has made rapid progress (1). Many foundational experiments have been performed (2-8), and superconducting qubits...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThe US government has spent an estimated $60 billion on biodefence since the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 (Nature 477, 150-152; 2011). This is an unprecedented investment in biomedical research and...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedDNA molecules provide what is probably the most iconic example of self-replication--the ability of a system to replicate, or make copies of, itself. In living cells the process is mediated by enzymes and occurs...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedMechanical stresses elicit cellular reactions mediated by chemical signals. Defective responses to forces underlie human medical disorders (1-4) such as cardiac failure (5) and pulmonary injury (6). The actin...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedYou perpetuate a well-worn economic fallacy in arguing that tightening pollution regulations would help the economy because "money spent on reducing emissions does not disappear into a vacuum: pollution control is a...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThe instruction of the immune system to be tolerant of self, thereby preventing autoimmunity, is facilitated by the education of T cells in a specialized organ, the thymus, in which self-reactive cells are either...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedFor decades, the source of Earth's volatiles, especially water with a deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio (D/H) of (1.558 [+ or -] 0.001) x [10.sup.-4], has been a subject of debate. The similarity of Earth's bulk composition...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedDrive and Curiosity: What Fuels the Passion for Science Istvan Hargittai Prometheus 338 pp. $26 (2011) What propels scientists towards great breakthroughs? Drive and curiosity are only part of it, argues Hungarian...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThe ability to recall discrete memories is thought to depend on the formation of attractor states in recurrent neural networks (1-4). In such networks, representations can be reactivated reliably from subsets of the...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThere is mounting evidence that fast-growing 'progressive' cancers occur because of a failure of the immune system to maintain control over budding tumours. The ability of cancers to escape immune responses is therefore...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedActivation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) by environmental xenobiotic toxic chemicals, for instance 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin), has been implicated in a variety of cellular processes such as...
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedAycan Senturk, Sylvia Pfennig, Alexander Weiss, Katja Burk & Amparo Acker-Palmer Nature 472, 356-360 (2011) In this Letter we made errors in representative image choice, including mislabelling of images or...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedIn an unflattering light, a naked mole rat looks like a wrinkly sausage with oversized teeth, legs and a tail. And given that it spends all of its extraordinarily long life short of air in dark and overcrowded...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-Reviewed1Q84: Book One and Book Two/1Q84: Book Three Haruki Murakami Harvill Secker 624 pp/368 pp. [pounds sterling]20/[pounds sterling]14.99 (2011) This Japanese sci-fi blockbuster, now translated into English by Jay...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedThe queue was long again, but Elise couldn't stay at home watching her crop shrink and shrivel while she waited for an electronic reply from the QuickLife complaints department. Mud and straw were caked onto her...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedMany animals attract mating partners through the release of volatile sex pheromones, which can convey information on the species, gender and receptivity of the sender to induce innate courtship and mating behaviours by...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 478, Issue 7368) Peer-ReviewedLens-based optical microscopy failed to discern fluorescent features closer than 200 nm for decades, but the recent breaking of the diffraction resolution barrier by sequentially switching the fluorescence capability of...
