New Microscopy Technique Improves Imaging at the Atomic Scale
Lab Manager Share
When capturing images at the atomic scale, even tiny movements of the sample can result in skewed or distorted images — and those movements are virtually impossible to prevent. Now microscopy researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that accounts for that movement and eliminates the distortion from the finished product.

The Year in New Drugs
Chemical & Engineering News Share
After a rocketing rise in new-drug approvals in 2012, the pharmaceutical industry fell back to Earth in 2013. Last year, only 27 new products received Food & Drug Administration approval, down from 39 in the prior year, but on par with approval rates for the past decade. The good news for industry is that many of the new products have potential to become blockbusters, with peak annual sales of more than $1 billion.

Researchers Teach Old Chemical New Tricks to Make Cleaner Fuels, Fertilizers
Phys.org Share
University researchers from two continents have engineered an efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst for the production of molecular hydrogen, a compound used extensively in modern industry to manufacture fertilizer and refine crude oil into gasoline. Although hydrogen is abundant element, it is generally not found as the pure gas but is generally bound to oxygen in water or to carbon in methane, the primary component in natural gas.

Giant Leaps of Evolution Make Cancer Cells Deadly
New Scientist Share
How does cancer do it? How does one little cell transform itself into an invader that rages out of control? Surprisingly abruptly, according to new results that are pointing the way to Darwinian-inspired treatments. When a cancer evolves the ability to metastasize, or invade multiple tissues in the body, it has to pull off several remarkable feats.

Native Top-Down Electrospray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry of 158 kDa Protein Complex by High-Resolution Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron Resonance Mass Spectrometry
Analytical Chemistry Share
Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FTICR MS) delivers high resolving power, mass measurement accuracy, and the capabilities for unambiguously sequencing by a top-down MS approach. Here, we report isotopic resolution of a 158 kDa protein complex, tetrameric aldolase with an average absolute deviation of 0.36 ppm and an average resolving power of 520 000 at m/z 6033 for the 26+ charge state in magnitude mode.

Drug Information Education for Practicing Physicians: Part II
By Mike Wokasch Share
 As mentioned in my previous post, 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. We talked about eliminating the potential for drug company bias and influence on physician prescribing practice by essentially "cleansing" the drug information development process of any financial support from drug companies. But what about the drug information dissemination process?

New Mechanism for Genome Unpacking in Stem Cells
Bioscience Technology Share
Scientists at Karolinska Institutet and Gurdon Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom, have identified a novel mechanism that allows pluripotent stem cells to maintain their genome in an unpacked state, and thereby maintain their unique property to give raise to all types of specialized cells in the body. The findings are presented in the journal Nature.

Pesticide DDT Linked to Alzheimer's Disease
LiveScience Share
Exposure to the pesticide DDT, which was banned in the United States in the 1970s but is still found in the environment, may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests. People with Alzheimer's disease in the study had levels of a DDT byproduct, called DDE, in their blood that were nearly four times higher on average than the levels seen in people without Alzheimer's.

Five 'Fat Genes' Shown to Widen Girths
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
With reference to the waist-to-hip ratio — a particular measure of belly fat, or "central adiposity" — scientists have identified five new genes that merit closer scrutiny. Three of the genes are associated with increased WHR in both men and women, and the other two appear to affect WHR in women only. One of the two genes that affect women only is called SHC1.
