    págs. 40-40

    

  • Parkinson's disease: Guilt by genetic association: Certain sequence variants of the [alpha]-synuclein gene are linked to the risk of parkinson'S disease. An analysis of these variants using gene-editing technology provides a possible explanation for this increased risk. See letter p.95

    Asa Abeliovich, Herve Rhinn

    págs. 41-41

    

  • Immunology: Mum'S microbes boost baby'S immunity: The microorganisms that colonize pregnant mice have been shown to prime the innate immune system in newborn offspring, preparing them for life in association with microbes.

    Mihir Pendse, Lora V. Hooper

    págs. 42-42

    

  • Cell biology: Ubiquitination without e1 and e2 enzymes: A protein in the pathogenic bacterium legionella pneumophila has been found to attach the modifying molecule ubiquitin to human proteins, using a mechanism that, surprisingly, does not involve cellular e1 and e2 enzymes. See letter p.120

    Sagar Bhogaraju, Ivan Dikic

    págs. 43-43

    

  • Nuclear physics: Elusive transition spotted in thorium: The highly precise atomic clocks used in science and technology are based on electronic transitions in atoms. The discovery of a nuclear transition in thorium-229 raises hopes of making nuclear clocks a reality. See article p.47
