  • Stojanov et al. updated and internally validated a prediction model for the occurrence of post-operative shoulder stiffness following primary arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in Switzerland. Their findings support the development of further prediction models for an evidence-based and individualized decision-making in orthopedics.

  • The basal ganglia direct and indirect pathways are classically described as anatomically segregated and functionally opposing. Here the authors describe a non-canonical direct pathway made of axon collaterals to the globus pallidus that promotes motor action.

  • A single electron quantum dot in bilayer graphene is a candidate for a spin-valley qubit, however its excited state spectrum has not been determined under relevant conditions. Here the authors accomplish this using time-resolved charge detection technique and set the new upper bound on the inter-valley mixing.

  • The invention of the scanning tunnelling microscope 25 years ago, followed by the arrival of the atomic force microscope five years later, were crucial events in the history of nanoscience and nanotechnology. As the recent International Conference on Nanoscience and Technology in Basel made clear, scanning probe microscopes based on these discoveries are still having a tremendous impact on many areas of research.

  • Measuring the mass of individual microbial cells remains challenging. Here, the authors present a cell balance to monitor the proliferation of single budding yeast cells under culture conditions in real time, showing that single cells increase total mass in multiple linear segments of constant growth rates.

  • There are big uncertainties in the contribution of irrigation to crop yields. Here, the authors use Bayesian model averaging to combine statistical and process-based models and quantify the contribution of irrigation for wheat and maize yields, finding that irrigation alone cannot close yield gaps for a large fraction of global rainfed agriculture.

  • RNA modifications play critical roles in gene expression regulation, RNA stability, and translation efficiency, however, the detection of RNA modifications by various sequencing approaches may present differing results. Here, the authors explore several computational methods for the detection of the most researched mRNA modifications, with a view to improving algorithms’ comparability, reliability, and consistency in RNA modification prediction.

  • The spike protein of the Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 has a higher affinity for ACE2 than Delta, and a marked change in its antigenicity increases Omicron’s evasion of therapeutic and vaccine-elicited neutralizing antibodies.

  • Membrane proteins are central to many biological processes, but it is difficult to measure their interactions with other objects. Sensors based on arrays of resonating microcantilevers have now performed label-free and time-resolved measurements of the interactions between a protein receptor and a bacterial virus under physiological conditions.

  • Polyamines such as spermidine and putrescine are known to promote autophagy and longevity in fruit flies. Similar to many other organisms, Drosophila also display age-induced memory impairment. Here, Gupta et al. find that a decrease in brain polyamines in aging Drosophila is correlated with age-dependent memory impairment. They also find that polyamines in flies' diet can alleviate this impairment, demonstrating a link between polyamines, autophagy and memory decline.

  • Atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based approaches enable the characterization and manipulation of biological and synthetic biointerfaces, including tissues, cells, membranes, proteins, nucleic acid and functional materials. In this Review, the advantages and limitations of imaging, sensing, parameterizing and designing biointerfaces using AFM techniques are discussed.
