'Fingerprinting' nanoscale objects and viruses
Science Daily Share
Scientists at UB and IBEC in Barcelona have found a way of effectively identifying nanoscale objects and viruses that could offer a breakthrough for biomedical diagnostics, environmental protection and nano-electronics. Scientists have made amazing progress in the last two decades in seeing and manipulating materials at the nanoscale. New generation microscopes enable researchers to explore the morphology of nanoscale objects in their natural environment.

Moisturizer modified to tackle skin cancer
New Scientist Share
When a disease runs skin deep, perhaps all that is needed is moisturizer supercharged with gene-regulation technology. For skin conditions including melanoma, treatments that are applied directly to the skin are the ideal drug solution: they are easy to use and they affect only the area under which they are applied. The problem is that our skin is such a successful barrier against toxins that finding substances that penetrate it is a huge challenge.

Hello, Higgs Boson: LHC's new particle looks like the real thing
Popular Science Share
"We have discovered a new particle," CERN director general Rolf Heuer said. "A boson. Most probably a Higgs boson." Even the most anticipated news in science does not come without some caveats. Still, all signs point to a discovery that is arguably one of the most important findings in modern physics. The inscrutable Higgs boson, carrier of mass and final puzzle piece of physics' prevailing theory, may have finally been found.

New biological signaling agent identified
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Thionitrous acid, HSNO, may be a key molecule in biological signaling and regulation, linking the effects of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, according to a research report. The findings may be important for a better understanding of the way cardiac and nerve signals are regulated. Some effects of nitric oxide are familiar: Nitroglycerin, for example, releases nitric oxide to open blood vessels to alleviate heart pain.

New insights into how the most iconic reaction in organic chemistry really works
Phys.org Share
In 1928, chemists Otto Diels and Kurt Alder first documented diene synthesis, a chemical reaction important for synthesizing many polymers, alkaloids and steroids. Their work on this mechanism, which came to be known as the Diels–Alder reaction, won them the 1950 Nobel Prize in chemistry. Since then, the iconic reaction has become the most commonly used and studied mechanism in organic chemistry. But what happens during the reaction has never been entirely clear.

Polyatomic anion assistance in the assembly of [2]pseudorotaxanes
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
We describe the use of polyatomic anions for the quantitative assembly of ion-paired complexes displaying pseudorotaxane topology. Our approach exploits the unique ion-pair recognition properties exhibited by noncovalent neutral receptors assembled through hydrogen-bonding interactions between a bis-calix[4]pyrrole macrocycle and linear bis-amidepyridyl-N-oxides.

Transcription factor Lyl-1 critical in producing early T-cell progenitors
eBioNews Share
A transcription factor called Lyl-1 is necessary for production of the earliest cells that can become T-cells, critical cells born in the thymus that coordinate the immune response to cancer or infections, said a consortium of researchers led by those from Baylor College of Medicine in a report in the journal Nature Immunology. These earliest progenitors are the first cells that can be identified as being on the road to becoming T-cells.

Surface roughness directed self-assembly of patchy particles into colloidal micelles
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Share
Colloidal particles with site-specific directional interactions, so called "patchy particles," are promising candidates for bottom-up assembly routes toward complex structures with rationally designed properties. Here we present an experimental realization of patchy colloidal particles based on material independent depletion interaction and surface roughness. Curved, smooth patches on rough colloids are shown to be exclusively attractive due to their different overlap volumes.

Scientists identify protein required to regrow injured nerves in limbs
Lab Manager Share
A protein required to regrow injured peripheral nerves has been identified by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The finding, in mice, has implications for improving recovery after nerve injury in the extremities. It also opens new avenues of investigation toward triggering nerve regeneration in the central nervous system, notorious for its inability to heal.

Bees do it: Brain aging reversed
Live Science Share
When older honeybees take on tasks usually handled by younger bees, aging of their brains is effectively reversed, a new study finds. The discovery suggests that in humans, social intervention ought to be considered in addition to drugs as a way to treat age-related dementia. "We knew from previous research that when bees stay in the nest and take care of larvae — the bee babies — they remain mentally competent for as long as we observe them," explained Gro Amdam, who led the research.
