n-Type thermoelectric elastomers Summary This Nature article reports the development of one of the first n-type thermoelectric elastomers. The team combined uniform bulk nanophase separation, thermally activated crosslinking and targeted…
Delocalized electrolyte design enables 600 Wh kg−1 lithium metal pouch cells Content summary The paper from Huang et al. reports a new “delocalized” electrolyte strategy that deliberately creates a more…
The genomic origin of the unique chaetognath body plan Summary This study presents a chromosome-scale genome and multi-omics atlas for the arrow worm Paraspadella gotoi to explain how its unusual…
Elementary 3D organization of active and silenced E. coli genome Summary This Nature paper uses ultra-high-resolution Micro-C (up to ~10 bp) to map the 3D organisation of the Escherichia coli…
Multiple oestradiol functions inhibit ferroptosis and acute kidney injury Summary This Nature study shows that female kidneys are inherently more resistant to acute kidney injury (AKI) because oestradiol (and its…
Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription Summary This Nature paper investigates how three-dimensional chromatin architecture is established de novo during early mammalian embryogenesis and how that process interplays…
Bending the curve of land degradation to achieve global environmental goals Summary This Nature paper synthesises current evidence on the extent, drivers and impacts of land degradation and sets out…
Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer Summary This Nature paper presents ALPACA, a computational method that infers allele‑specific, clone‑level integer copy‑number profiles from multi‑sample bulk…
NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance Summary This Nature paper identifies the histone chaperone NASP as a key regulator of cellular response to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). Using…
Summary This Nature paper describes an orthogonal cytokine–receptor engineering platform that expands the functional repertoire of the common γc signalling hub. Using a mutant IL-2 ligand and an orthogonal IL-2Rβ…
