Cell ‘atlases’ offer unprecedented view of placenta, intestines and kidneys

Organ mapping studies show how kidney cells become diseased, and how cells from a fetus invade and remodel blood vessels in the lining of the uterus.

Can India’s new billion-dollar funding agency boost research?

India’s proposed National Research Foundation will shake up the scientific landscape to encourage a culture of research.

- Slow-beating radio waves from a long-lived source
  
  Astronomers have uncovered a source of radio waves that pulsate more slowly than expected. Meticulous records reveal that the emission has been detected for decades, highlighting the remarkable foresight of scientists in bygone years.

- Dynamics of protein droplets revealed by bridging multiple scales
  
  Many biological processes rely on proteins that aggregate into droplets governed by dynamics that span myriad scales. A clever combination of spectroscopy and simulation offers a way to probe these diverse dynamics.

- A genetic basis for asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection
  
  A common genetic variant of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex, a family of genes involved in the immune response, is associated with an absence of symptoms during SARS-CoV-2 infection. Previous exposure to cold viruses seems to confer this immunity.

p53 governs an AT1 differentiation programme in lung cancer suppression

p53 is shown to have a pivotal role in the differentiation of alveolar type 1 cells in cancer and alveolar repair after injury, and loss of this governance can promote diseases such as lung adenocarcinoma.
