Finding your feet in research sometimes means traveling in unfamiliar territory. For Kelci Schilly, B.Sc., the first SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher, the journey leads from creating tools to search for extraterrestrial life to diagnostics for disease detection as she expands her growing repertoire of research accomplishments. "There are good and bad days in the lab, but to keep pushing through you have to think about what you want out of life, how things that you experience are helping you get there and make certain you have a solid support system throughout it," says Schilly in a new article in the SLAS Electronic Laboratory Neighborhood (SLAS ELN). The SLAS grant allows Schilly to work in the laboratory of SLAS President Sabeth Verpoorte, Ph.D., at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands) to broaden her understanding and advance her research in paper-based microfluidics and peptide labeling for mass spectrometric detection.

No longer operating in the "flatlands" of 2D cell cultures, the 2018 SLAS Advanced 3D Human Models and High-Content Analysis Conference (Oct. 17-19, Leiden, The Netherlands) takes a journey into dimensional landscapes where biology is building, measuring and screening human tissue models. Join SLAS this October to explore best practices for 3D tissue culture and comparisons to chip-based methods. Discover how to extract meaningful research results from high-throughput microscopy and imaging (and the mass of data they generate) and examine stem cell culture, organoid generation and tissue miniaturization. Learn how these technologies enable meaningful results in human disease models. Gain attention for your innovation: poster abstracts accepted until Oct. 4.

SLAS moved its headquarters from St. Charles, IL, to its new address at 1301 W. 22nd St., Suite 708, Oak Brook, IL 60523 USA. Approximately 19 miles west of downtown Chicago, the new office is equidistant from Chicago's two international airports — Chicago O'Hare International and Chicago Midway International. We're still putting the finishing touches (and a few pieces of furniture) into the space, but welcome SLAS members who want to visit when they are in the area — please call in advance. SLAS would like to thank Corning for donating microplates to create our new SLAS microplate wall! All phone and fax numbers are staying the same, per the SLAS website.

Analytical Chemistry
Dynamic environments determine cell fate decisions and function. Understanding the relationship between extrinsic signals on cellular responses and cell fate requires the ability to dynamically change environmental inputs in vitro, while continuously observing individual cells over extended periods of time. This is challenging for nonadherent cells, such as hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, because media flow displaces and disturbs such cells, preventing culture and tracking of single cells.

Scientists have long sought ways to convert abundant CO2 to useful products such as chemicals and fuel. As early as in 1869, they were able to electrocatalytically convert CO2 to formic acid. Over the past two decades, the rise of CO2 in the Earth's atmosphere has significantly accelerated research in CO2 conversion using renewable energy resources, including solar, wind and tidal.

Journal of the American Chemical Society
The mechanism on interfacial synergistic catalysis for supported metal catalysts has long been explored and investigated in several important heterogeneous catalytic processes (e.g., water–gas shift (WGS) reaction). The modulation of metal–support interactions imposes a substantial influence on activity and selectivity of catalytic reaction, as a result of the geometric/electronic structure of interfacial sites.

Checkpoint inhibitors have revolutionized cancer treatment by unleashing the immune system on tumor cells. These drugs' effects have been almost exclusively attributed to responses from antitumor T cells, yet they also work in certain tumors that T cells cannot recognize, suggesting other types of cells may be at play.
Researchers now report that a type of lymphocyte called a natural killer cell can mediate the anticancer activity of checkpoint inhibitors in mice.

Two new studies by scientists at Scripps Research are bringing Ebola virus's weaknesses into the spotlight, showing for the first time exactly how human and mouse antibodies can bind to the virus and stop infection — not only for Ebola virus, but for other closely related pathogens as well.
The research suggests antibodies like these could be key ingredients in versatile lifesaving therapeutics capable of neutralizing all members of the Ebolavirus genus.

University of Oregon chemists have created a new class of fluorescent dyes that function in water and emit colors based solely on the diameter of circular nanotubes made of carbon and hydrogen.
The six-member team reported the discovery, which is now being explored for its potential use in biological imaging, in an open-access paper published online ahead of print in the journal ACS Central Science.

A type of immune cell that produces a protein called CD4 plays an important role in protecting mice infected with the Zika virus against severe neurological disease, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Pathogens by Amelia Kahler Pinto of Saint Louis University, and colleagues. Based on the findings, vaccines that induce strong responses from these immune cells, known as CD4+T cells, should be developed to prevent invasion of the Zika virus into the brain and spinal cord.

In a Disneyesque animated film, one could imagine thousands of anthropomorphized mosquitoes dressed in military fatigues waiting in long lines to be administered their antimalaria pills before they shuffle off to the battlefront. Obviously, in the real world, the method of administration would be much different, but the concept would be similar — dosing mosquitoes with drugs that would prevent them from being susceptible to the malaria parasite.
