In Nature China this week - Researchers in Shanghai identify ion channels in the brain that have a critical role in synaptic development, as well as learning and memory

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.

Cell metabolism: Fat-gene crackdown
Cidea expresses proteins that promote the degradation of the cell-metabolism enzyme AMPK

Calcium signalling: Partners in crime
Two protein phosphotases are required for the calcium-mediated activation of positive transcription elongation factor

Cancer therapy: Targeted attacks
Genetic modification of antigen-presenting cells with tumour proteins could allow the immune system to target specific cancer cells

Organometallic superstructures: From wires to wheels
Ligand substitution forces organo­metallic supramolecules to self-assemble into springs and wheels instead of wires

Synaptic development: Mega memory
Researchers in Shanghai identify ion channels in the brain that have a critical role in synaptic development, as well as learning and memory

High-temperature superconductivity: Upped by a good samarium
Researchers in Hefei have made an iron oxide compound that has superconducting properties at temperatures as high as 43 K
