Scientists solve 40-year mystery of how sodium controls opioid brain signaling
Bioscience Technology Share
Scientists have discovered how the element sodium influences the signaling of a major class of brain cell receptors, known as opioid receptors. The discovery, from The Scripps Research Institute and the University of North Carolina, suggests new therapeutic approaches to a host of brain-related medical conditions. "It opens the door to understanding opioid related drugs for treating pain and mood disorders, among others," said lead author Dr. Gustavo Fenalti.

Revving the stem cell engine
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
Like a car idling, not moving in any direction but ready to roll, stem cells may remain in their undifferentiated state, rumblingly pluripotent, and ready to become any type of mature cell. Pluripotent stem cells appear to have their engines tuned via Wnt signaling. But which Wnts and Wnt receptors are involved? Only recently, thanks to the work of researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have such details emerged.

Electrochemical cell generates hydrogen fuel while cleaning up arsenic
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Arsenic taints drinking water in many parts of Asia, and the element can be abundant in industrial wastewaters or acidic drainage from mines. Now researchers have designed a way to increase the cost-effectiveness of removing toxic arsenic from water by coupling the cleanup with hydrogen fuel generation. To remediate arsenic-laced waters, engineers use a variety of methods to oxidize the more toxic form of the metalloid, called arsenite or As(III), to its less toxic form, As(V).

Drug information education for practicing physicians: Part I
By Mike Wokasch Share
 The recent announcement that GlaxoSmithKline would no longer pay physicians to do educational or promotional speaking about disease and prescription drugs got me thinking about the state of physician education, especially as it pertains to drug information for physicians. While some may feel the pharmaceutical industry has no place in physician education, the reality is that educating physicians about diseases faces significant challenges with or without support from the pharmaceutical industry. The concerns about bias and inappropriate industry influence on prescribing practices could have a negative impact on the therapeutic expertise of practicing physicians.

NIST researchers develop a novel approach for the measurement of a crucial DNA repair enzyme in human cells
Phys.org Share
NIST researchers recently reported a novel approach for identifying and quantifying an important DNA repair enzyme in mammals including humans. This enzyme, apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1, plays a critical role in base excision repair of DNA damage. APE1 plays a key role in repairing mutagenic base-free sites in DNA by first generating strand breaks which paves the way for other enzymes to fully repair DNA.

New drug target for autism, cervical cancer
Drug Discovery & Development Share
A team of scientists at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans has discovered the structure of the active form of E6-associated protein, an enzyme that acts as a master regulator in the body. They report, for the first time, that the active form of E6AP is composed of three distinct protein molecules. E6AP controls functions as diverse as the ability of nerve cells to "rewire" themselves in response to external stimuli and the mechanism by which certain viruses hijack normal cellular processes in order to replicate — a process that can ultimately lead to cancer.

Laundering money — literally — could save billions of dollars
Lab Manager Share
A dollar bill gets around, passing from hand to hand, falling on streets and sidewalks, eventually getting so grimy that a bank machine flags it and sends it to the shredder. Rather than destroying it, scientists have developed a new way to clean paper money to prolong its life. The research, which appears in the American Chemical Society journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, could save billions and minimize the environmental impact of banknote disposal.

Evolving Applications for Sintered Porous Plastics
Porvair Filtration Group Share
Porvair Filtration Group has written a technical article that documents the evolution of how sintered porous plastics have been used in industrial applications to their incorporation today in novel Chromatin Immunoprepitation assay kits used by scientists at the forefront of epigenetics research. The authors describe how growing use of these materials in the stringently regulated life science and medical markets has necessitated development of fully traceable production processes to produce contamination-free porous plastics with very low levels of leachables.
