In the Report “Kinetics of dCas9 target search in Escherichia coli” (29 Sep 2017, p. 1420), the model underlying the analysis of nonspecific binding times was based on an incorrect assumption. Fluorescent spots were observed for labeled dCas9 protein bound to DNA. It was assumed that a nonspecifically bound molecule would be observed as a spot when the laser exposure starts during a binding event, which is at least as long as the laser exposure but can also end during the laser exposure.

Editor’s summaryGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) plays a pivotal role in signaling the termination of food consumption. GLP-1 receptor agonists are highly successful medications for obesity that are linked to shifts in food cognition, including diminished hypothalamic responses to food cues and alterations in the perception of food palatability in humans. However, the targets of these agonists have not been fully clarified. Kim et al.

Six years ago, my colleagues and I published an article in the World Economic Forum asking if Africa was ready for the electric vehicle (EV) revolution. At that time, the African EV sector was nascent, and we concluded that more data and research were needed to draw firmer conclusions, emphasizing the absence of Africa-specific data in major EV publications and calling for dedicated analysis tailored to the continent's needs. Not much has changed.

This week on the Science podcast, roboticist Daniela Rus explains what tasks robots currently perform and what roles they are poised to take on and argues that, together, we can do great things.

Lymphatic drainage removes metabolic waste and toxins from tissues, which is crucial for maintaining tissue health. In the central nervous system (CNS), lymphatic drainage relies on meningeal lymphatic vessels located in the dura mater and on the glymphatic system, a recently elucidated network that is responsible for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation and waste clearance.

In India, many women are exposed to air pollution created by traditional cooking stoves fueled with dung, wood, or charcoal. Rajashree Khatave has lost count of the painkillers she has taken since she first experienced knee pain a decade ago. “Within a few days, I couldn’t walk properly and often fell,” recalls the 51-year-old resident of this village on the Krishna River in western India. In an effort to ease the pain, Khatave consulted with faith healers and massaged her knees with oils.

Wind Energy Power boostJesse SmithOffshore wind farms should be able to produce more power as climate warms. PHOTO: NIELS QUIST/ALAMY STOCK PHOTOIt is imperative that carbon-free energy sources such as wind power be developed as rapidly as possible to help mitigate climate change in our rapidly warming world. As global temperatures rise, it may become just a bit easier than was thought to do that. Shen et al.

Such pollution is typical of inversion layers, in which cold air is held close to the ground by a layer of warmer air.
