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: Arrestin effects
Researchers in China have uncovered the signalling pathway responsible for damping down the antiviral effects of interferon-γ
Neuron development: The making of polarity
Neuronal polarity is regulated by intracellular membrane trafficking
Fullerenes: Symmetry breakers
Researchers in Xiamen are close to making symmetry-breaking buckminsterfullerenes
Hybrid materials: Well spread
A chemical approach ensures nanoparticles are well dispersed in hybrid materials
Porous materials: Forced to order
High-temperature drying of composite solutions leads to ordered pores in polymer films
