Turning to natural design for inspiration
SLAS Share
  
"Design principles found in nature are very helpful in designing innovative engineering systems for a variety of applications, especially for biomedical applications. Some of those 'smart' systems in nature give me new and creative ideas on how to design and build new types of engineering systems," says 2012 SLAS Innovation Award winner and 2012 SLAS Asia Conference and Exhibition speaker Dan Dongeun Huh, Ph.D. Learn more about this biomedical engineer and his award-winning work, the human breathing lung-on-a-chip system, in SLAS Electronic Laboratory Neighborhood.

Optimal drying of aqueous HPLC fractions
Genevac Share
  
A Genevac white paper is available that details a high throughput methodology, using its HT Series II centrifugal evaporator, for drying High Performance Liquid Chromatography fractions containing water. HPLC purification fractions can be notoriously difficult to dry. The acetonitrile or methanol seems to evaporate easily enough but the water presents more of a challenge.

Jury Is still out over disclosing genomic research findings to patients
Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News Share
  
Since biobanks were established in the 1990s, researchers, patient advocates and others have debated what if any duty investigators had to return incidental findings and individual research results generated in genomic research back to the patients from which they were generated.

Luminescent lanthanide complexes with analyte-triggered antenna formation
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
  
A new strategy for accessing analyte-responsive luminescent probes is presented. The lanthanide luminescence of Eu and Tb centers is switched on by the analyte-triggered formation of a sensitizing antenna from a nonsensitizing caged precursor. As the cage can be freely varied, an array of probes for different analytes (Pd0/2+, H2O2, F–, β-galactosidase) can be created from the same core structure.

Rewriting the organofluorine playbook
Phys.org Share
  
Sometimes it is easy to overgeneralize, to conclude that simply because a group of things are pretty much all the same, they're identical in all respects, even interchangeable. But such assumptions can cause a lot of problems, not just in everyday life but also in science. One example is the findings of a research team whose experiments at two U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science facilities have shaken up the field of organofluorine chemistry.

Publication of flu study reveals full nature of threat
New Scientist Share
  
It's one of the most troubled scientific gestations on record. Nine months after it was first presented at a conference, research showing that just five mutations lead to a deadly H5N1 bird flu which transmits through the air between mammals has finally been published. Estimates published with it show that nature might well produce this virus, too — and reveal the science we now need to head off that threat.

Scientists outsmart the immune system to better match people with organs
Popular Science Share
  
One of the most vexing problems that confronted surgeons after they completed the first successful human organ transplant, in 1954, was: Where would they get more organs? Medical researchers have since figured out how to transplant hearts, eyes and even entire faces. But half a century later, they still struggle to keep up with the demand for parts. For example, in the U.S., every year 1,400 people die awaiting livers and 4,500 more awaiting kidneys.

How cocaine vaccines could cure drug addiction
Live Science Share
  
Could one shot cure a hard drug addiction? Researchers have developed not one, but two cocaine vaccines that show promise in blocking the highly addictive drug before it reaches the brain. The vaccines have been successful in monkeys and mice injected with cocaine. The vaccines were both developed by teams led by Ronald Crystal, a researcher at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.

The drugs that may never be used
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
Concerns about radiation exposure have been around since the nuclear age began, but they have mounted over the past decade thanks to terrorist attacks, the prospect of a rogue nation using nuclear weapons, and the Fukushima power plant accident in Japan. If an event were to occur, there's almost nothing to prevent or treat all the effects of ionizing radiation.

The identification of cutin synthase: formation of the plant polyester cutin
Nature Chemical Biology Share
  
A hydrophobic cuticle consisting of waxes and the polyester cutin covers the aerial epidermis of all land plants, providing essential protection from desiccation and other stresses. We have determined the enzymatic basis of cutin polymerization through characterization of a tomato extracellular acyltransferase, CD1, and its substrate, 2-mono(10,16-dihydroxyhexadecanoyl)glycerol.

Bringing down the cost of microbial fuel cells
Science Daily Share
  
Engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee have identified a catalyst that provides the same level of efficiency in microbial fuel cells as the currently used platinum catalyst, but at 5 percent of the cost. Since more than 60 percent of the investment in making microbial fuel cells is the cost of platinum, the discovery may lead to much more affordable energy conversion and storage devices.
