Next-Gen Sequencing: Making a Difference in Patient Care
SLAS Share
"The members of our department realized several years ago that it was going to be impossible to keep up with the rapid pace of molecular oncology discovery using the old paradigm of single-gene testing," says Eric J. Duncavage, M.D. Duncavage and his colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are among a handful of research teams who have developed next generation DNA sequencing panels for cancer to help oncologists improve patient care.

JBS special issue coincides with Nobel Prize announcement
SLAS Share
"How timely the JBS stem cell special issue is in light of the Nobel Prize awarded last week," says Marcie Glicksman who served with Laura Pajak and Kelvin Lam as guest editor for the just published issue. Sir John B. Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka were named Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine winners Oct. 8 "for the discovery that mature cells can be reprogrammed to become pluripotent."

Researchers use voltammetry to probe the brain's chemistry
Phys.org Share
Our brains are constantly awash in chemicals that serve as messengers, transporting signals from one neuron to another. It's a really nifty system, although scientists still aren't clear on how, exactly, those chemical messages end up being converted into behaviors like kicking a ball or doing really complicated mathematical computations.

Measuring the electric charge and zeta potential of nanometer-sized objects using pyramidal-shaped nanopores
Analytical Chemistry Share
Nanometer-scale pores are capable of detecting the size and concentration of nanometer-sized analytes at low concentrations upon analyzing their translocation through the pore, in small volumes and over a short time without labeling. Here, we present a simple, widely applicable, robust, and precise method to measure the zeta-potential of different nano-objects using nanopores.

RNA gets excited
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Scientists have long suspected that many RNA molecules have short-lived, low-abundance excited states, but those states have been difficult to characterize. Now, Hashim M. Al-Hashimi and coworkers at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, have developed a method to trap and observe these RNA excited states. The excited states typically last for microseconds and account for less than 5 percent of the population of a particular RNA molecule.

Claim of first human stem cell trial unravels
NewScientist Share
It has been a crazy week for stem cell research. After the high of a Nobel prize for Japan's Shinya Yamanaka, the pioneer of cellular reprogramming, events took an alarming and surreal turn when a little-known compatriot — Hisashi Moriguchi — claimed to have already run a clinical trial in which similarly reprogrammed cells were injected into people. But Moriguchi's claims quickly unravelled.

Freezing electrons in flight: Physicists catch electrons getting knocked out of atoms
Science Daily Share
Using the world's fastest laser pulses, which can freeze the ultrafast motion of electrons and atoms, University of Arizona physicists have caught the action of molecules breaking apart and electrons getting knocked out of atoms. Their research helps us better understand molecular processes and ultimately be able to control them in many possible applications.

Funding opportunity from Neurofibromatosis Therapeutic Acceleration Program
Neurofibromatosis Therapeutic Acceleration Program Share
The Neurofibromatosis Therapeutic Acceleration Program seeks applications by noon EST Nov. 9 to support the development of novel cell culture model systems for neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated plexiform neurofibromas. Successful proposals will focus on the development of innovative cellular model systems that address the challenges typically encountered in developing disease relevant cellular models including early senescence of nonmalignant cells, limited genotypic, phenotypic and functional characterization (at the DNA, RNA, protein, and functional levels), disease relevance, stability and reproducibility, failure to represent the complexity of human tumors in their multi-cell type composition, interactions with the microenvironment and the biological diversity.

White paper explores effective protein purification
Rainin Instrument Share
Rainin Instrument published "High Throughput FPLC with Packed Resin Tip Technology." The paper helps shed light on how novel resin tips promote easier, faster and more cost-effective protein and antibody purification than can be achieved using traditional gravity/spin columns. Using conventional spin columns, protein purification requires a relatively large amount of resin for acceptable performance. However, experiments detailed in the white paper indicate that the higher resin volumes required in spin columns are not the key to optimizing workflow.

Porphyrin shell microbubbles with intrinsic ultrasound and photoacoustic properties
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
Porphyrin–phospholipid conjugates were used to create photonic microbubbles having a porphyrin shell, and their acoustic and photoacoustic properties were investigated. The inclusion of porphyrin–lipid in the MB shell increased the yield, improved the serum stability, and generated a narrow volumetric size distribution with a peak size of 2.7 ± 0.2 μm.

Stem cells from muscle tissue may hold key to cell therapies for neurodegenerative diseases
eBioNews Share
Scientists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center have taken the first steps to create neural-like stem cells from muscle tissue in animals. Details of the work are published in two complementary studies published in the September online issues of the journals Experimental Cell Research and Stem Cell Research. In an earlier study, the same team isolated neural precursor cells derived from skeletal muscle of adult transgenic mice.

Human cadaver brains may provide new stem cells
LiveScience Share
Death will come for us all one day, but life will not fade from our bodies all at once. After our lungs stop breathing, our hearts stop beating, our minds stop racing, our bodies cool, and long after our vital signs cease, little pockets of cells can live for days, even weeks. Now scientists have harvested such cells from the scalps and brain linings of human corpses and reprogrammed them into stem cells.

Obesity promotes tumor growth regardless of diet
Bioscience Technology Share
Researchers may have discovered a new explanation as to why obese patients with cancer often have a poorer prognosis compared with those who are lean. "Studies of the population have clearly established that there is a link between obesity and cancer incidence," said Mikhail Kolonin, Ph.D., associate professor at the Institute of Molecular Medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
