Final Reminder to Reserve Your Spot in 'Detangling Your Variegated Data to Drive Scientific Innovation'
SLAS
In our next SLAS live webinar event, Sridhar Iyengar, Ph.D., (Elemental Machines) will present "Detangling You Variegated Data to Drive Scientific Innovation," featuring case studies showing how seemingly unrelated data affecting experimental procedures can point towards unexpected root causes of irreproducibility and errors, and how "unknown unknowns" can be more readily identified. Reserve your spot now for the Tuesday, March 10 event. As a bonus, Iyengar's popular SLAS2019 conference session recording can be accessed when you register.

Drug Meant for Ebola May Also Work Against Coronaviruses
University of Alberta via ScienceDaily
Researchers who have discovered why the drug remdesivir is effective in treating the coronaviruses that cause Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) expect it might also be effective for treating patients infected with the new COVID-19 strain.

Novel Synthetic Proteins Rival Their Natural Counterparts in Proton Transport
Oak Ridge National Laboratory via Phys.org
Biological membranes, such as the "walls" of most types of living cells, primarily consist of a double layer of lipids, or "lipid bilayer," that forms the structure, and a variety of embedded and attached proteins with highly specialized functions, including proteins that rapidly and selectively transport ions and molecules in and out of the cell.

Faulty Probes Are to Blame for CDC Coronavirus Testing Woes
Chemical & Engineering News
A faulty component in an early batch of coronavirus testing kits being developed by the U.S. government is not critical, a clinical diagnostics expert tells Chemical & Engineering News. The kits, which politicians and public health officials have been clamoring for as the number of SARS-CoV-2 cases grows in the U.S., should still work, the expert says.

GPS for Chromosomes: Reorganization of the Genome During Development
University of Basel via ScienceDaily
The spatial arrangement of genetic material within the cell nucleus plays an important role in the development of an organism. A research team has developed a method to trace the chromosomes in individual cells. Using this method, they have now been able to demonstrate that chromosomes reorganize during embryonic development.

Small-Molecule Antagonists of the RIG-I Innate Immune Receptor
ACS Chemical Biology
The RIG-I receptor plays a key role in the vertebrate innate immune system, where it functions as a sensor for detecting infection by RNA viruses. Although agonists of RIG-I show great potential as antitumor and antimicrobial therapies, antagonists of RIG-I remain undeveloped, despite the role of RIG-I hyperstimulation in a range of diseases, including COPD and autoimmune disorders.

Zombie Caterpillar Fungus May Contain Anti-Cancer Drug — But Still Questions To Be Answered
The Conversation via Phys.org
Spores released by parasitic fungi of the group cordyceps infect insect hosts, causing the fungus to grow inside them. Eventually this kills the host, but a bizarre twist is that before they die their behavior is changed to assist the release of new fungal spores. This conversion of the insect host into a "zombie" has inspired at least one sci-fi novel and film ("The Girl with All the Gifts") as well as a computer game ("The Last of Us"). The premise of these stories is that mutant fungi can infect humans and turn them into zombies.
