SLAS ELN Reports — 2015 SLAS Innovation Award Winner Jonathan Wingfield: Bringing Screening with Mass Spectrometry to the Next Level
SLAS Share
   
"I remember vividly when I decided to go into drug discovery," Wingfield recalls. "I was doing basic research on transcription factors in the hospital's research lab. That day, I walked into the cafeteria — there was only one for both staff and patients — and sat down among all the children, so many of whom were seriously ill. I remember thinking to myself, 'I've had nine years of education, but I'm not making a difference. I have to do something more productive and helpful.' "

New! Assay Guidance Workshop for High-Throughput Screening and Lead Discovery
SLAS Share
This full-day workshop at SLAS2016 provides participants with a broad, practical perspective on assay development to:
- Better understand the process of high-throughput screening/lead discovery and where to find further information
- Identify reagents, methods and instrumentation that are well suited for robust assays
- Be able to develop assays and counter assays for new targets
- Seek practical advice about individual research challenges
This workshop to be held Saturday, Jan. 23, 2016 in San Diego, CA, includes an overview of the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences/National Institutes of Health Assay Guidance Manual.

Modern Alchemy: Chemists Devise Synthesis of Valuable Exotic Compounds
Phys.org Share
Chemists at The Scripps Research Institute have discovered a broad and strikingly inexpensive method for synthesizing "amines," a class of organic compounds prominent in drugs and other modern products. The new reaction is particularly useful for synthesizing complex amines that would be highly valuable in pharmaceuticals, but are impractical — or impossible — to make with standard methods.

New Approach To Control Enzyme Function In Cells
Chemical & Engineering News Share
A new technique could make it easier to target and inhibit specific enzymes and other proteins in cells and to turn that regulation on and off at will with light. The approach provides researchers with another tool to study the function of proteins in their natural cellular environments.
In the study, researchers selectively inhibit enzymes by covalently tethering small-molecule inhibitors to target proteins.

DNA Mutations Get Harder to Hide
Phys.org Share
Rice University researchers have developed a method to detect rare DNA mutations with an approach hundreds of times more powerful than current methods.
The technique allows the researchers to find a figurative needle in a haystack that's smaller than any needle.
The researchers applied their new molecular tools to 44 DNA samples with known cancer-related single-nucleotide variants.

One Step Closer to a Single-Molecule Device
Science Daily Share
A new technique to create a single-molecule diode has been developed by scientists, and, in doing so, they have developed molecular diodes that perform 50 times better than all prior designs. This research group is the first to develop a single-molecule diode that may have real-world technological applications for nanoscale devices.

Blood to Feeling: Scientists Turn Blood into Neural Cells
Lab Manager Share
Scientists at McMaster University have discovered how to make adult sensory neurons from human patients simply by having them roll up their sleeve and providing a blood sample.
Specifically, stem cell scientists at McMaster can now directly convert adult human blood cells to both central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) neurons as well as neurons in the peripheral nervous system (rest of the body) that are responsible for pain, temperature and itch perception.

Inexpensive Technique Developed to Manufacture Nanofibers
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
Scientists at the University of Georgia say they have developed an inexpensive way to manufacture nanofibers, which are polymers made from natural materials like proteins or from human-made substances to make plastic, rubber or fiber, including biodegradable materials. The new method, dubbed "magnetospinning," provides a simple, scalable, and safe means for producing large quantities of nanofibers that can be embedded with a multitude of materials.

Study Maps Prenatal Cells
Bioscience Technology Share
A new study, published online by Amander Clark, Ph.D., at the UCLA Eli & Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research, significantly furthers the understanding of the human germline — the cells that create eggs or sperm in humans during prenatal development in the womb. The highly specialized cells of the germline, called germ cells, are the only cell type in the body capable of passing parents' genes on to their biological children.

Science Still Seen as Male Profession, According to International Study of Gender Bias
Science Magazine Share
Close your eyes and imagine a scientist: peering into a telescope, flicking a glass vial in a lab, or sitting at a computer typing out a grant proposal. Did you picture a man or a woman? The answer depends on where you live, according to a new study. Researchers have found that people in some countries are much more likely to view science as a male profession, with the Netherlands coming in at the top of the list. Regardless of location, though, the stereotype persists that science is for men.
