Nature Reports
Climate change
The scientific community has reached an overwhelming consensus - the world is warming, primarily as a result of human activity. Through in-depth news, features, research highlights, commentary and analysis, Nature Reports Climate Change reports on climate science and casts a wider net to cover the implications for the economy, policy, and society. A key feature of the site is its interaction with the wider climate science community, with regular blogs and podcasts. All content is freely accessible and available as a monthly digital edition.

Avian flu
In just three years, avian flu has spread from SE Asia to Europe and Africa, taking nearly 200 human lives and resulting in the infection or culling of millions of birds. Experts warn that the virus responsible, H5N1, could spark the next influenza pandemic, killing millions of people. Nature Reports Avian Flu charts the global spread of H5N1 and the latest news and research into efforts to avert a pandemic.

Stem cells are providing profound insights to how complex organisms grow and develop, and there is hope that these cells will provide new ways for treating human diseases and injuries. Scientists are unraveling ways to isolate stem cells, deciphering the genes and signals that control how they grow, proliferate, and differentiate into specialized tissues. Transforming these insights, and these cells, into medicines involves many aspects of basic and clinical science, ethics, and policy. Nature Reports Stem Cells chronicles developments on all these fronts.
