JALA unveils new podcast series
SLAS Share
   
The first in a new podcast series at JALA Online is entitled "A Conversation with the Authors of Automation of Cell-Based Drug Absorption Assays in 96-Well Format Using Permeable Support Systems." The podcast features June JALA cover story authors Brad Larson of BioTek Instruments and Mark Rothenberg of Corning Life Sciences with JALA Podcast Editor David Pechter of Merck Research Laboratories. Larson and Rothenberg explain how their Apparent Permeability (Papp) and Efflux data demonstrate how an automated procedure, when compared to manual processing, provides a method that is less variable and is capable of delivering a more accurate assessment of a compound's absorption characteristics.

Comparison of behavior of metal-organic frameworks and zeolites for hydrocarbon separations
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
The objective of this work was to study the adsorption and separation of the most important families of hydrocarbon compounds on metal–organic frameworks, in comparison with zeolites. For this purpose, we have selected four probe molecules, each of them representing one of these families, i.e., o- and p-xylene as aromatics, 1-octene as an alkene, and n-octane as an alkane.

Visualization and quantitative analysis of G protein-coupled receptor — β-arrestin interaction in single cells and specific organs of living mice using split luciferase complementation
ACS Chemical Biology Share
Methods used to assess the efficacy of potentially therapeutic reagents for G protein-coupled receptors have been developed. Previously, we demonstrated sensitive detection of the interaction of GPCRs and β-arrestin2 using 96-well microtiter plates and a bioluminescence microscope based on split click beetle luciferase complementation.

Physical properties predict stem cell outcome
Science Daily Share
Tissue engineers can use mesenchymal stem cells derived from fat to make cartilage, bone or more fat. The best cells to use are ones that are already likely to become the desired tissue. Brown University researchers have discovered that the mechanical properties of the stem cells can foretell what they will become, leading to a potential method of concentrating them for use in healing.

Integrated nanopore sensing platform with sub-microsecond temporal resolution
Nature Methods Share
Nanopore sensors have attracted considerable interest for high-throughput sensing of individual nucleic acids and proteins without the need for chemical labels or complex optics. A prevailing problem in nanopore applications is that the transport kinetics of single biomolecules are often faster than the measurement time resolution. Methods to slow down biomolecular transport can be troublesome and are at odds with the natural goal of high-throughput sensing.

Scientists identify key metastasis-enabling enzyme
Medical Xpress Share
Recently, scientists at the Leibniz Research Centre for Working Environment and Human Factors, University of Dortmund, Germany, studying the tumor metabolome — the characteristic metabolic phenotype of tumor cells fundamental to the tumor's metastatic capacity — identified EDI3 as the enzyme responsible for a decreased glycerophosphocholine to phosphocholine ratio by cleaving GPC to produce choline.

Immune system strength at birth linked to quantity of baby's colds
Live Science Share
The number of colds babies have in their first year of life can range from none to 10, a new study finds. And the quantity of colds was linked to the innate strength of the babies’ immune systems at birth. The science of it is complex, but in a nutshell, the researchers extracted certain cells in blood from newborn's umbilical cords, exposed those cells to a common respiratory virus (in a lab setting) and determined the strength of the responses.

Survey: 'Rare' genetic variants are surprisingly common
eBioNews Share
A large survey of human genetic variation, published in the online version of the journal Science, shows that rare genetic variants are not so rare after all and offers insights into human diseases. A team of life scientists studied 202 genes in 14,002 people. The human genome contains some 3 billion base pairs; the scientists studied 864,000 of these pairs.
