- 1From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedAdult stem cells support tissue homeostasis and repair throughout the life of an individual. During ageing, numerous intrinsic and extrinsic changes occur that result in altered stem-cell behaviour and reduced tissue...
- 2From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedDragon has become the first private spacecraft to reach the International Space Station. The cargo capsule, built by SpaceX of Hawthorne, California, and launched on a Falcon rocket on 22 May, docked with the station...
- 3From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedGevo, a synthetic-biology firm based in Englewood, Colorado, announced on 24 May that production had begun at the first commercial plant for bio-isobutanol--a potential biofuel that stores more energy per litre than...
- 4From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedThe discovery of human remains in the same layer as fossil mammals, including mammoths and mastodons, at a site in Florida has generated debate about whether the species were contemporaneous. An analysis of rare earth...
- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedA loose coalition of eco-anarchist groups is increasingly launching violent attacks on scientists. A group calling itself the Olga Cell of the Informal Anarchist Federation International Revolutionary Front has claimed...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedHow environmental cues regulate adult stem cell and cancer cell activity through surface receptors is poorly understood. Angiopoietin-like proteins (ANGPTLs), a family of seven secreted glycoproteins, are known to...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedThe UK government's plans to license badger culling for the control of tuberculosis (TB) in cattle are controversial; by contrast, the Welsh Assembly has decided to vaccinate rather than cull badgers. Extensive...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedAn online petition urging journal articles from US taxpayer-funded research to be made freely available had gained around 19,000 signatures by 28 May. The White House will have to officially respond if the petition...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedTwo events in quick succession have transformed the prospects for commercial space activities: the successful rendezvous last week of California-based SpaceX's privately developed Dragon capsule with the International...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedThe News story 'Cancelled project spurs debate over geoengineering patents' (Nature 485, 429; 2012) implied that the Oxford Principles were produced in 2011. In fact, they were drawn up in 2009 before the Asilomar...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedQuasiparticles known as repulsive polarons are predicted to occur when 'impurity' fermionic particles interact repulsively with a fermionic environment. They have now been detected in two widely differing systems. SEE...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedAdult stem cells support tissue homeostasis and repair throughout the life of an individual. During ageing, numerous intrinsic and extrinsic changes occur that result in altered stem-cell behaviour and reduced tissue...
- 13From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedPossibly the most famous cancer gene is called BRCA1, for breast cancer 1. It is expressed in breast tissue and encodes a protein that fixes double-stranded breaks in DNA. When such breaks cannot be repaired, the same...
- 14From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedAt the start of the most recent ice age, pressurized sand exploded through cracks in the sea floor at the bottom of the North Sea, producing a body of sand large enough to bury Manhattan under 160-metre-high dunes....
- 15From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedCalifornia's state stem-cell agency is focusing more of its funds on clinical development, and shrinking support for basic research, facilities and training. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine in San...
- 16From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedThe reprogramming of adult cells into pluripotent cells or directly into alternative adult cell types holds great promise for regenerative medicine. We reported previously that cardiac fibroblasts, which represent 50 %...
- 17From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedThe adult mammalian heart possesses little regenerative potential following injury. Fibrosis due to activation of cardiac fibroblasts impedes cardiac regeneration and contributes to loss of contractile function,...
- 18From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedWhether vitamin D protects the body from infection is controversial. Researchers in California provide a possible explanation for why some studies have failed to link vitamin D to immune response: the vitamin does not...
- 19From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedA hard-fought battle against the polio virus may be approaching its endgame. Last week, health officials laid out plans to eradicate the virus from its last redoubts, but warned that the effort may founder owing to a...
- 20From: Nature. (Vol. 485, Issue 7400) Peer-ReviewedTumour cells face various metabolic stresses as they arise and progress. Early-stage tumours that have not yet recruited new blood vessels to supply them with nutrients will be short of both glucose and oxygen (1), and...
