Tumour biology: Transition states that allow cancer to spread p.442

Cancers of epithelial-cell origin often contain some tumour cells that have acquired traits of mesenchymal cells. How this leads to cancer spread has now been illuminated in mouse models.

Neuroscience: Hunger is a gatekeeper of pain in the brain p.445

A neuronal population has now been found that regulates two competing needs — hunger and pain. Urgent pain overrides hunger, but appetite-inducing neuronal activity dampens long-term pain responses to enable feeding.

Quaternary stereocentres via an enantioconvergent catalytic SN1 reaction p.447

Cooperation between a chiral hydrogen-bond-donor catalyst and a strong Lewis-acid promoter in an SN1-type reaction mediates the formation of tertiary carbocations and enables control over enantioselectivity and product distribution.
