RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS
----------------------
BIOTECHNOLOGY
Stem cell: Monkey business
Researchers in China have generated induced pluripotent stem cells from
rhesus monkeys
CELL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Structural biology: Cavity immunity
A cavity-containing protein may represent a novel class of molecules
essential for keeping the immune system in shape
CHEMISTRY
Organometallic chemistry: Aryl alliance
Aryl carboxylates have been coupled with arylzinc reagents to form a
myriad of biaryl compounds
NEUROSCIENCE
Neurobiology: Hearing clearer
Intensive training can give behavioural as well as neuronal improvement
on developmentally impaired animals with hearing deficits
PHYSICS
Laser physics: The long and the short of it
Long laser filaments from femtosecond lasers are produced when different parts of the beam are focused at different times
Quantum physics: Long-term memory
Researchers in China have found a way to extend the lifetime of quantum memory
