Technologies that are reducing costs and changing the ways in which researchers and clinicians process and use therapeutic cells are showcased in the August 2018 special issue of SLAS Technology. With leadership from guest editor Christopher Puleo, Ph.D., and colleagues of General Electric Global Research (Niskayuna, NY, USA), the issue presents two review articles that detail the status of cell bioreactors in both stem cell and tissue/organ engineering applications and five original research reports by life sciences researchers from universities, pharma companies and hospitals in Australia and across the United States.

A new August 2018 special issue of SLAS Discovery on high-throughput flow cytometry (HTFC) in drug discovery captures recent advances that inform us about the current state of automated workflows, the expanding range of applications and the creativity in some novel assays. The issue is timely as "HTFC is gaining acceptance and people are using it in innovative ways," says Co-Guest Editor Bruce Edwards, Ph.D., of the University of New Mexico (UNM, Albuquerque, NM, USA) in a new article in SLAS Electronic Laboratory Neighborhood (SLAS ELN). SLAS Discovery Editorial Board member and Co-Guest Editor Mei Ding, Ph.D., of AstraZeneca (Gothenburg, Sweden) and Edwards teamed up last fall for the special issue.

Analytical Chemistry
Microfluidic devices provide ideal environments to study solvent extraction. When droplets form and generate plug flow down the microfluidic channel, the device acts as a microreactor in which the kinetics of chemical reactions and interfacial transfer can be examined. Here, we present a methodology that combines chemometric analysis with online micro-Raman spectroscopy to monitor biphasic extractions within a microfluidic device.

Gene editing using the CRISPR-Cas system has exploded with therapeutic potential over the last several years, and while researchers have begun to exploit the bacterial defense system to treat an array of diseases, little is known about the molecular battle between CRISPRs and invading viruses. A better understanding of these molecular events could enable therapeutic intervention using phage viruses.

For over a century, scientists have studied E. coli, one of the bacteria that cause food poisoning, as a model for fighting infections. Such research has led to a variety of antibiotics that penetrate the protective cell walls of bacteria to kill them.
Now, a multi-university study led by Stanford bioengineer KC Huang reveals that E. coli has managed to keep a big secret about its defenses.

When nanoparticles are used for drug delivery, they often end up in the liver or spleen instead of the intended target. A team led by Jacob S. Brenner and Vladimir Muzykantov of the University of Pennsylvania now shows that nanocarrier delivery can be improved by having the nanocarriers "hitchhike" on red blood cells. The researchers withdrew red blood cells from mice and incubated them with nanoparticles, which absorbed on the cell surface.

A new type of artificial-intelligence-driven chemistry could revolutionize the way molecules are discovered, scientists claim.
In a new paper published in the journal Nature, chemists from the University of Glasgow discuss how they have trained an artificially-intelligent organic chemical synthesis robot to automatically explore a very large number of chemical reactions.

Researchers at Oregon State University have used deep learning to decipher what ribonucleic acids have the potential to encode proteins.
The gated recurrent neural network developed in the College of Science and College of Engineering is an important step toward better understanding RNA, one of life's fundamental, essential molecules.
Unlocking the mysteries of RNA means knowing its connections to human health and disease.

In the quest to realize artificial photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into fuel — just as plants do — researchers need to not only identify materials to efficiently perform photoelectrochemical water splitting, but also to understand why a certain material may or may not work. Now scientists have pioneered a technique that uses nanoscale imaging to understand how local, nanoscale properties can affect a material's macroscopic performance.
