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.
Immunology: Order please
A component on the transcription factor has been identified as a regulator of the recombination ordering of genes encoding T-cell receptors
Lung disease: Breathing better
The mucolytic drug carbocisteine could slow down the worsening of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Gene discovery: Hidden treasures
Researchers in China have developed a computer algorithm for discovering novel non-coding RNA genes from previously ignored sequences in the human genome
Biomimetics: A sound strategy
Biomaterials with highly sophisticated structures can be replicated more efficiently with the aid of ultrasound
Nanotomography: Crystal clear
X-rays from a synchrotron can produce incredible high-resolution three-dimensional images of nanoscale crystal structures
Fluid dynamics: Fish on a roll
Flowing soap films show how fish in a school save energy by swimming between the vortices created by other fish in front
