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: A protein with a rigorous role
Researchers in Shanghai have identified a protein that not only detects
invading viruses but also helps remove infectious bacteria
Nanomaterials: Chameleon composites
Nanocomposite fibres that change colour under an electrical current are
promising components for sensors
Cognitive neuroscience: Stay tuned
The lateral geniculate nucleus facilitates the transmission of visual
information by filtering out useless information and tuning into
important information
Biophysics: Slightly inclined
Contrary to popular belief, the migration velocity of certain types of
magnetotactic bacteria actually decreases as the magnetic field strength
increases
