NATURE CHINA
03 April 2013
Nature China highlights the best research coming out of Mainland
China and Hong Kong, providing scientists from around the world
with a convenient portal into publications drawn from across all
scientific disciplines. Each week, our editors select the
best published research and provide a summary of the results. By
organizing this research into a comprehensive, regularly updated,
one-stop web portal, we hope to help you quickly reach the
resources you need to study, and to keep you up-to-date with the
most significant research coming out of Mainland China and Hong
Kong.

Have you listened to the recent Nature Podcast?
Every show features highlighted content from that week's edition of
Nature, including interviews with the people behind the science, and
in-depth commentary and analysis from journalists covering science
around the world.

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
----------------------
CELL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Enzyme kinetics: Exploring allostery
Conformational change plays an important role in DNA-protein
interactions and gene regulation
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=10&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
Molecular biology: Super sensitivity
T cells use a calcium-ion-based feedback loop to detect even the tiniest
amount of antigens
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=3&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
Structural biology: Death interceptors
Crystal structures reveal how necrostatins bind and prevent the
receptor-interacting protein RIP1 from activating cell death
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=4&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
CHEMISTRY
Inorganic chemistry: Double irony
A diiron complex mimics the function of nitrogenase enzymes, reducing
N2H2 to ammonia
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=5&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
CLINICAL MEDICINE
Traditional Chinese medicine: The stronger the better
Acupuncture with strong stimulation produces better outcomes in the
treatment of Bell's palsy
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=6&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
ECOLOGY & EVOLUTION
Avian evolution: Lost and found
Fossil records provide new evidence that female birds lost one
functional ovary to aid flight
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=7&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
GENETICS
Animal genetics: Birds of prey
New genomes reveal why falcons have better vision, smell and hunting
abilities than other birds
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=8&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
MATERIALS
Electronic materials: A serious contender to graphene
Hydrogen-incorporated titanium disulfide nanosheets have superior
electrical conductivity and are transferable to many different types of
substrates
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=9&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
Optoelectronic materials: Photon on demand
Quantum dots can output single photons on demand for use in future
communication and computing technologies
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=11&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
SPACE & ASTRONOMY
Stellar evolution: Supernovae come in two flavours
Supernovae with high-velocity ejecta may have originated from young,
metal-rich stars
http://links.ealert.nature.com/ctt?kn=12&ms=NDEyNTk3NjgS1&r=MzcwNDEzOTk1MjkS1&b=2&j=MTgzNTE2Njg1S0&mt=1&rt=0
