CELL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY
Cell biology: A channel to stretch
Researchers in Hong Kong have discovered an unexpected feature of the
cystic fibrosis ion channel
Molecular biology: Split or no split
New findings shed light on the mechanism that cells use to maintain
their epigenetic information
CHEMISTRY
Organic chemistry: No smoke without fire, and no fire without
hydroperoxides New experiments confirm the formation of hydroperoxides
during the oxidation of hydrocarbons at low temperatures
MATERIALS
Nanomaterials: Carbon nanotubes with a twist
Carbon nanotubes grown on both sides of a layered double hydroxide
flake will twist themselves into a double-helical structure
