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.
Cell metabolism: Fat-gene crackdown
Cidea expresses proteins that promote the degradation of the cell-metabolism enzyme AMPK
Calcium signalling: Partners in crime
Two protein phosphotases are required for the calcium-mediated activation of positive transcription elongation factor
Cancer therapy: Targeted attacks
Genetic modification of antigen-presenting cells with tumour proteins could allow the immune system to target specific cancer cells
Organometallic superstructures: From wires to wheels
Ligand substitution forces organometallic supramolecules to self-assemble into springs and wheels instead of wires
Synaptic development: Mega memory
Researchers in Shanghai identify ion channels in the brain that have a critical role in synaptic development, as well as learning and memory
High-temperature superconductivity: Upped by a good samarium
Researchers in Hefei have made an iron oxide compound that has superconducting properties at temperatures as high as 43 K
