Nature, Published online: 17 April 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-00963-3How does the human brain temporarily store information without losing track of it? Neuroscientists have discovered that neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes work together to hold information in working memory.
Nature, Published online: 17 April 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-01090-9A United Nations-backed agreement to end plastic pollution is within reach — but only if scientists, civil society and businesses unite against powerful vested interests.
Nature, Published online: 17 April 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-01015-6A technique called surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy can detect tiny quantities of compounds in solution, but has been difficult to use for quantitative analysis. A digital approach involving nanoparticles suggests a way forward.
Nature, Published online: 17 April 2024; doi:10.1038/d41586-024-00472-3Countries are cracking down on tobacco use and vaping — the laws could save thousands of lives and billions of dollars, say scientists.
Nature Genetics, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01709-7A Stereo-seq and scRNA-seq atlas of mouse liver in homeostasis and regeneration after partial hepatectomy identifies zonated genes, pathways, cell–cell interactions and gene regulatory networks. Functional validation finds that cooperation between TBL1XR1 and β-catenin activates hepatocyte proliferation.
Nature Genetics, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01687-wA comprehensive time series characterization of a mouse model of cholestatic liver injury with spatial enhanced resolution omics sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing identifies zonal responses to insult, such as cholangiocyte signaling recruiting lipid-associated macrophages.
Nature Genetics, Published online: 16 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01712-yA single-cell-based approach allows the daughters of a damaged cell to be separately tracked following single mitotic events. This technique highlights the different ways in which ultraviolet light and reactive oxygen species cause mutagenesis.
Nature Genetics, Published online: 15 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41588-024-01695-wChromosome-level genome assemblies of allotetraploid Coffea arabica and representatives of its diploid progenitors, Coffea eugenioides and Coffea canephora, provide insights into Arabica’s diversification history.
