Epigenetics: Unfinished symphony p143

To correctly 'play' the DNA score in our genome, cells must read another notation that overlays it — the epigenetic code. A global effort to decode it is now in the making, reports Jane Qiu.

ワクチン:免疫をくぐり抜けるウイルスベクターを作る

Vaccines: Engineering immune evasion p161

One obstacle to realizing the promise of viral vectors for vaccine delivery is pre-existing immunity to such vectors. An adroit application of structure-based design points to a way around that problem.

John R. Mascola

太陽系:惑星間での拉致事件

Solar system: Interplanetary kidnap p162

Triton, Neptune's largest moon, was probably part of a two-body object similar to the Pluto–Charon system. This tandem might have been ripped apart when it strayed too close to the planet that Triton is now orbiting.

細胞生物学:カルシウム流入の秘密を暴く

Cell biology: Cracking the calcium entry code p163

A sharp increase in the concentration of calcium ions in a cell is a key biological signal. Now a vital component of a major route by which calcium ions flow into cells has been identified.

化学:触媒作用の桂馬跳び

Chemistry: A catalytic knight's move p165

The reactivity of inert hydrocarbons can be transformed by a catalytic double act. With the ability to manipulate the lengths of the resulting carbon chains, this development opens up fresh vistas.

免疫学:17だけの働きは?

Immunology: What does it mean to be just 17? p166

For a long time it was thought that there are only two types of T helper cell. But it is becoming clear that there may be other lineages that influence inflammatory responses in certain circumstances.
