 SLAS2014 keynote speaker says personalized, wireless medicine is here
MSNBC Share
Physician Eric Topol was featured on NBC's Rock Center with Brian Williams last week, exploring new tools available — many utilizing smartphones — to help doctors work more closely with their patients. When talking about the current state of health care, Topol states, "It's really medicine dumbed down. It's treating all human beings the same. That's crazy. Each of us is truly unique in every way." Topol is director, Scripps Translational Science Institute; chief academic officer, Scripps Health; and professor of Genomics, The Scripps Research Institute.

Researchers uncover protein's job protecting pneumonia-causing pathogen from copper poisoning
Phys.org Share
A team of chemists and biologists led by Indiana University chemistry professor David Giedroc has described a previously unknown function of a protein they now know is responsible for protecting a major bacterial pathogen from toxic levels of copper. The results were published Jan. 27 in Nature Chemical Biology.

Mutations found in melanomas may shed light on how cancers grow
The New York Times Share
In a leap forward in understanding the basic science of one of the most lethal cancers, two groups of researchers have found mutations in most melanomas that are unlike any they have seen before in cancer. The changes are in regions that control genes, not in the genes themselves. The mutations are exactly the type caused by exposure to ultraviolet light, indicating they might be among the first DNA changes in a cell's path to melanoma.

Putting the squeeze on cells
MIT Share
Living cells are surrounded by a membrane that tightly regulates what gets in and out of the cell. This barrier is necessary for cells to control their internal environment, but it makes it more difficult for scientists to deliver large molecules such as nanoparticles for imaging, or proteins that can reprogram them into pluripotent stem cells. Researchers from MIT have now found a safe and efficient way to get large molecules through the cell membrane.

Drug reduces enlarged prostate with few side effects
NewScientist Share
Relief from the constant call of nature is the aim of a new drug, tested in rats, which can shrink an enlarged prostate and is likely to have few side effects. By the age of 60 an estimated 70 percent of men have prostate enlargement. Treatment involves surgery or drugs that block testosterone, a hormone that drives unwanted growth.

Bacteria in Earth's atmosphere may affect cloud formation and climate
Popular Science Share
Vast populations of microbes live between four and six miles above the Earth's surface in the upper troposphere, an atmospheric zone considered at best a pretty lousy location for life. They might be living at those altitudes and feasting on carbon compounds that are helping warm the planet, or perhaps they were lofted up there by air currents, according to a new study.

Single molecule dynamics at a mechanically controllable break junction in solution at room temperature
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
The in situ observation of geometrical and electronic structural dynamics of a single molecule junction is critically important in order to further progress in molecular electronics. Observations of single molecular junctions are difficult, however, because of sensitivity limits.

The rise of superbugs called 'apocalyptic scenario'
LiveScience Share
A prominent British health official has declared the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs so grave a threat that the world is now facing an "apocalyptic scenario" in which people die of routine infections. Dame Sally Davies, the U.K.'s chief medical officer (a role equivalent to the U.S. surgeon general), warned Parliament that contagious antibiotic-resistant disease is an imminent crisis.

Genevac offers technical article on high-throughput natural product discovery
Genevac Share
Natural product derived discovery of novel flavor molecules is a highly complex process. Natural product sources yield complex extracts containing many components, which often do not lend themselves to processing and analysis. Conventionally, many steps of fractionation and evaluation are necessary until a compound is obtained from natural sources at the purity required for structural analysis. In the article, a state of the art fractionation process is described.
