Electroanalytical eavesdropping on single cell communication
Analytical Chemistry Share
  
The use of carbon as an electrode material was first popularized by Ralph Adams in the 1950s. Since its inception, carbon has been a popular
choice for electrochemical applications, as carbon electrodes demonstrate a wide working potential window, stable background currents, low noise and high sensitivity.

The telomeric Cdc13 protein interacts directly with the telomerase subunit Est1 to bring it to telomeric DNA ends in vitro
National Academy of Sciences Share
  
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a Cdc13–Est1 interaction is proposed to mediate recruitment of telomerase to DNA ends. Here we provide unique in vitro evidence for this model by demonstrating a direct interaction between purified Cdc13 and Est1. The Cdc13–Est1 interaction is specific and requires the in vivo defined Cdc13 recruitment domain.

Physicists say speed-of-light-breaking neutrinos would've lost energy along way
Popular Science Share
  
Last week's bombshell physics news those superluminal neutrinos that CERN's OPERA experiment clocked moving faster than the speed of light are already getting the rigorous vetting that OPERA's researchers were hoping for. And some physicists are already rejecting the notion that CERN's neutrinos broke the cosmic speed limit outright.

Bridging the gap
Chemical & Engineering News Share
  
Contract research organizations have a natural tendency to bridge gaps in the landscape of pharmaceutical R&D. As laboratories for hire, CROs have emerged as vital agents in screening compounds, developing synthetic routes and supporting clinical trials. They provide expertise and infrastructure to virtual drug companies, small biotech firms and even big pharmaceutical makers that lack necessary resources.
