Wen, Shona L. Osborne, Mark Zanin, Pei Ching Low, Hai-Tao A. Wang, Simone M. Schoenwaelder, Shaun P. Jackson, Roland Wedlich-Söldner, Bart Vanhaesebroeck, Damien J. Keating and Frédéric A. Meunier The role of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate in exocytosis is unclear. This study shows that inhibition of the p110δ isoform of PI3-kinase promotes a transient increase in phosphatidylinositol(4,5)bisphosphate, leading to a potentiation of exocytosis in chromaffin cells. 04 Oct | Nat Commun 2:491 doi:10.1038/ncomms1500 (2011) Biological sciences Cell biology  Neuroscience Abstract | Full Text | PDF (2,022 kB) | Supplementary Information Spin coupling and relaxation inside molecule–metal contacts Aitor Mugarza, Cornelius Krull, Roberto Robles, Sebastian Stepanow, Gustavo Ceballos and Pietro Gambardella The ability to control the charge and spin of single molecules at metal interfaces underpins the concept of molecular electronics. Mugarza et al. examine these properties using scanning tunnelling microscopy, and uncover their influence on the magnetism and transport properties of the molecule/metal systems. 04 Oct | Nat Commun 2:490 doi:10.1038/ncomms1497 (2011) Physical sciences Condensed matter  Materials science Nanotechnology Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,218 kB) | Supplementary Information Designing attractive models via automated identification of chaotic and oscillatory dynamical regimes OPEN Daniel Silk, Paul D.W. Kirk, Chris P. Barnes, Tina Toni, Anna Rose, Simon Moon, Margaret J. Dallman and Michael P.H. Stumpf Modelling of chaos and oscillations is usually done indirectly and quantitatively by fitting models to a finite number of data-points. Here, a qualitative framework is developed where the characteristics of the underlying dynamical system are directly specified, revealing new properties of such systems. 04 Oct | Nat Commun 2:489 doi:10.1038/ncomms1496 (2011) Physical sciences Systems biology  Theoretical physics Abstract | Full Text | PDF (540 kB) | Supplementary Information Reprogramming within hours following nuclear transfer into mouse but not human zygotes Dieter Egli, Alice E. Chen, Genevieve Saphier, Justin Ichida, Claire Fitzgerald, Kathryn J. Go, Nicole Acevedo, Jay Patel, Manfred Baetscher, William G. Kearns, Robin Goland, Rudolph L. Leibel, Douglas A. Melton and Kevin Eggan The generation of human cell lines using somatic cell nuclear transfer has been difficult to achieve. In this study, Egli et al. show that while mouse eggs reprogram somatic cells within hours, human eggs arrest after nuclear transfer which may be due to a lack of genome transcription. 04 Oct | Nat Commun 2:488 doi:10.1038/ncomms1503 (2011) Biological sciences Cell biology  Developmental biology  Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1,303 kB) | Supplementary Information   Nature Communications JOBS of the week Postdoctoral Researcher ­ Experimental micromechanics Politecnico di Torino Turin, IT Engineering Doctorate in Sustainability for Engineering and Energy Systems University of Surrey Derby, GB PhD in Supramolecular Chemistry ( Marie Curie International Training Network) SAMS research group - Institut Charles Sadron Strasbourg Strasbourg, FR Inorganic Chemistry Postdoctoral Fellow Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Harvard Medical School (HMS) Boston, US Research Scientist Vertex Abingdon, GB Revalidation Research Fellow Peninsula College of Medicine & Dentistry Plymouth, GB Accelarator Engineer Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Paramaribo, SR PhD Research Center Borstel Dörverden, DE Postdoctoral Fellowship University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, US Research Fellow: Nanobiotechnology University of South Australia Adelaide, AU More Science jobs from Nature Communications EVENT Emergent Magnetic Monopoles in Frustrated Magnetic Systems 17.-18.10.11 London, UK More science events from   Advertisement NATURE REVIEWS IMMUNOLOGY TURNS 10 Nature Reviews Immunology celebrates 10 years of outstanding Reviews with a special anniversary issue in October, featuring a Viewpoint by our most highly cited authors.
