Delocalized electrolyte design enables 600 Wh kg−1 lithium metal pouch cells Summary This Nature paper reports a new “delocalised” electrolyte concept that deliberately disrupts dominant solvation structures to create a…
The genomic origin of the unique chaetognath body plan Summary This study presents a chromosome-scale genome, regulatory maps (Hi-C, ATAC–seq, methylome) and a single-cell atlas for the arrow worm Paraspadella…
Elementary 3D organization of active and silenced E. coli genome Summary This study uses ultra-high-resolution Micro-C (down to ~10 bp) to map the 3D organisation of the Escherichia coli chromosome…
Summary This Nature paper shows that female kidneys are intrinsically more resistant to acute kidney injury (AKI) than male kidneys because oestradiol acts through multiple, complementary anti-ferroptotic mechanisms. The authors…
Establishment of chromatin architecture interplays with embryo hypertranscription Summary This Nature article reports that the de novo establishment of 3D chromatin architecture during early mammalian embryogenesis is tightly coupled to…
Clone copy number diversity is linked to survival in lung cancer Summary This Nature paper introduces ALPACA, a computational method that infers allele-specific copy-number profiles for individual tumour clones from…
NASP modulates histone turnover to drive PARP inhibitor resistance Summary This Nature paper identifies the histone chaperone NASP as a key determinant of resistance to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). Using genome-wide…
Expanding the cytokine receptor alphabet reprograms T cells into diverse states Summary This paper describes an orthogonal cytokine–receptor engineering platform that expands the functional repertoire of the common γc signalling…
Acidic oxygen reduction by single-atom Fe catalysts on curved supports Summary Researchers report a new Fe/N–C electrocatalyst architecture made of two-dimensional carbon layers decorated with numerous nanoprotrusions. Single iron atoms…
Accuracy of rubber-related deforestation maps Summary Hoang et al. re-evaluate high-resolution rubber maps published by Wang et al. (2023) and conclude that the original maps substantially overestimate rubber plantation area…
