"It is hard to imagine a more contemporarily relevant topic than that of Standards: Recipes for Reality. Our times, marked by economic bubbles, political partisanship, and a search for sustainability, would profit from Lawrence Busch's socio-cultural studies romp through histories and cultures seeking balance for standards and ways to ensure a good life." — Don Ihde, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, Stony Brook University, on Amazon.

Biosimilar, biobetter and next generation antibody characterization by mass spectrometry
Analytical Chemistry Share
This feature will introduce the strategies of therapeutic antibodies (mAbs) in-depth characterization by mass spectrometry and discuss analytical comparison of biosimilar to originator mAbs, with the cases of trastuzumab and cetuximab. In addition, the structural and functional insights gained both by state-of-the art and emerging MS methods used for biobetters and next generation antibodies design and optimization will also be highlighted.

Starting salaries for chemists, chemical engineers
Chemical & Engineering News Share
For new graduates, finding a job can be a challenge in the best of times. But for students graduating in 2011, the gloomy economic conditions made that challenge insurmountable for a record number of chemists and chemical engineers. In the most recent American Chemical Society survey of new graduates in chemistry and related fields, 13 percent of respondents were not employed but were actively seeking jobs last year, up from 11 percent of respondents in 2010.

Photoswitchable nanoparticles for triggered tissue penetration and drug delivery
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
The authors report a novel nanoparticulate drug delivery system that undergoes reversible volume change from 150 to 40 nm upon phototriggering with UV light. The volume change of these monodisperse nanoparticles comprising spiropyran, which undergoes reversible photoisomerization, and PEGylated lipid enables repetitive dosing from a single administration and enhances tissue penetration.

Immune cells gobble up healthy but idle brain cells
New Scientist Share
Use it or lose it: A class of immune cell demolishes idle circuits and connections in the brain, even a healthy one. Understanding more about the process could help prevent the onset of degenerative brain diseases. Until now, microglia have been dismissed as simple immune cells that do little more than protect brain cells from damage and tidy up in the aftermath of disease.

How infectious disease may have shaped human origins
Science Daily Share
Roughly 100,000 years ago, human evolution reached a mysterious bottleneck: Our ancestors had been reduced to perhaps 5,000 to 10,000 individuals living in Africa. In time, "behaviorally modern" humans would emerge from this population, expanding dramatically in both number and range, and replacing all other co-existing evolutionary cousins, such as the Neanderthals.

Paralyzed rats regain strut in lab
Live Science Share
After severe spinal cord damage, paralyzed rats are able to walk again with the help of a robot to hold them up and stimulate their nerves, a new study shows. After the rats are trained on the machine for about two months, they gained the ability to control their hind legs — which had previously been cut off from communicating with the brain — with enough dexterity to climb stairs and navigate around objects.

Computer-designed proteins programmed to disarm a variety of flu viruses
eBioNews Share
Computer-designed proteins are under construction to fight the flu. Researchers are demonstrating that proteins found in nature, but that do not normally bind the flu, can be engineered to act as broad-spectrum antiviral agents against a variety of flu virus strains, including H1N1 pandemic influenza. "One of these engineered proteins has a flu-fighting potency that rivals that of several human monoclonal antibodies," said Dr. David Baker in a report in Nature Biotechnology.

First images from complete map of mouse brain
Popular Science Share
Despite plenty of advances in neuroscience, often what we know about the brain comes with gaps, and anything close to a full piece of knowledge always ends up lacking something — whether it's for the human brain or a mouse's. Researchers from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory are starting to remedy that — the mouse version, at least — by developing a full, 3-D, virtual map of a vertebrate brain.

Some stem cells can trigger tumors
Medical Xpress Share
Stem cells often used in reconstructive surgery following mastectomies and other cancer-removal treatments may pose a danger: Cornell biomedical scientists have discovered that these cells, in contact with even trace amounts of cancer cells, can create a microenvironment suitable for more tumors to grow. The cells the researchers studied are derived from fat and are called adipose-derived stem cells.
