ナノテクノロジー: 分子囲い由来のパターン
Nanotechnology: Patterns from molecular corrals p585
Many nanotechnology devices will require components that consist of arrays of molecules positioned on surfaces with nanometre precision. One way to make these is to let the molecules organize themselves.

がん: がん制御のすべてに迫る
Cancer: Ins and outs of tumour control p586
When a potentially dangerous cell can't be repaired, it must be either stopped or killed. Premature senescence of cancerous cells is one such 'stop' mechanism, in which immune mediators play an unexpected part.

行動神経科学: 恐怖の回路
Behavioural neuroscience: The circuit of fear p589
Do you find it difficult to overcome an irrational fear? Blame it on the specific neural circuits hardwired in the brain that control fear recognition, and fear renewal even when fear has seemingly been overcome.

Developmental biology: Our fly cousins' gut p592
What do we humans have in common with flies? Quite a lot, at least at the cellular and molecular levels. Our intestine, for instance, is similar to that of the fly, not only in function but also in its development and maintenance.

Structural biology: It's not all in the family p593
There are no sequential snapshots of a transporter protein as it mediates the simultaneous passage of ions and solutes into a cell. Comparing different snapshots of structurally related transporters offers fascinating insights.
