  3. A Nature paper reports stress can cause hair to turn grey in rodents by triggering the depletion of pigment-forming stem cells in hair follicles. This effect seems to be driven by activation of the sympathetic nervous system, contrary to previous theories.

  4. News & Views: Unlike many sugar-transporting proteins, a transporter in one species of malaria parasite can import several types of sugar equally, aiding the parasite’s survival. The structure of this protein reveals the reason for its versatility.

  9. How do cells disentangle proteins that are clumped together? A Nature paper shows that the molecular chaperone ClpB can forcibly pull on exposed loops of protein chains, and hence extract them from protein clumps.

    A Nature paper shows that a defect in the ATP13A2 gene causes cell death by disrupting the cellular transport of polyamines. When this happens in the part of the brain that controls body movement, it can lead to Parkinson’s disease.
