This week Science Weekly is packed full of cutting-edge medical research taking place in the UK. Alok Jha meets Professor Paul Riley from UCL's Institute for Child Health, who has carried out groundbreaking work into a technique for regenerating heart muscle after a heart attack.
And Guardian science correspondent Ian Sample talks to Professor Neil Scolding, director of the Bristol Institute of Neurosciences, about his research into repairing nerve damage caused by advanced multiple sclerosis.
Alok and Ian are joined by the Guardian's environment correspondent Fiona Harvey for a science news round up, including dramatic declarations at climate talks in Bonn about the need to develop technologies to suck greenhouse gases out of the air. And with the addition of two new elements to the periodic table, the team have a go at giving them better names than their working titles ununquadium and ununhexium.
