An improved fluorescence method for direct optimization of challenging biopharmaceuticals formulations is showcased in an original research article in the December 2018 issue of SLAS Technology. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using a steady-state/lifetime fluorescence plate reader for direct optimization of challenging formulation conditions and highlights the importance of performing formulation optimization under commercially relevant conditions. The article can be accessed for free for a limited time.

"The SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher program opens a door for students to broaden their experiences," says Susan Lunte, Ph.D., Department of Chemistry at the University of Kansas (Lawrence, KS, USA). "I encourage students to study abroad and discover how research is conducted around the world." In 2018, the SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher program covered the expenses of a graduate research assistant from Lunte's lab, Kelci Schilly, B.Sc., as she advanced her research in paper-based microfluidics and peptide labeling for mass spectrometric detection in the lab of SLAS President Sabeth Verpoorte, Ph.D., at the University of Groningen (Groningen, The Netherlands). Could you be next? SLAS is accepting applications for the SLAS Visiting Graduate Researcher program and the SLAS Graduate Education Fellowship Grant until Dec. 17.

The recent shocking reports about a human genome editing experiment have led to increased murmurings about the potential pitfalls of improved access to molecular technologies. Sharing speeds science. That's been the driving concept behind Addgene since its founding. Nowhere has this proved more prescient than in the acceleration of basic research using CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing tools.

Growth of microorganisms is often accompanied by the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The released VOCs may qualitatively or quantitatively reflect the physiological states of microbial cultures. A number of VOCs are produced during microbial degradation of organic matter accompanying food spoilage. In order to characterize the dynamics of microbial VOC production, and enable time-dependent analysis, researchers constructed a dual-chamber sampling system and coupled it online with mass spectrometry.

A powerful new biochemical platform is fueling the study of a family of enzymes that are promising targets for cancer treatment.
Published in Science Advances, the new method provides a high-resolution view of how these enzymes, called lysine methyltransferases, selectively mark proteins with chemical tags that alter their function. Because of their central role in all aspects of health and disease, proteins and the molecules that edit and interact with them often are targets for therapeutic development.

Exposure to methylating agents, which are used in the lab and in chemotherapy, can cause an unexpected form of DNA damage, a new study reveals. These chemicals can methylate guanosine bases in DNA, forming N7-methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (MdG). MdG minimally perturbs the DNA structure, so it has long been considered a benign lesion. However, MdG can be hydrolyzed, effectively deleting a base from the DNA strand. Such a mutation can be toxic.

Researchers have generated six Zika virus antibodies that could be used to test for and possibly treat a mosquito-borne disease that has infected more than 1.5 million people worldwide.
The antibodies "may have the dual utility as diagnostics capable of recognizing Zika virus subtypes and may be further developed to treat Zika virus infection," Loyola researchers report in a study published in PLOS ONE.

Using a small and inexpensive biosensor, researchers at UBC Okanagan, in collaboration with the University of Calgary, have built a diagnostic tool that provides health care practitioners almost instant diagnosis of a bacterial infection.
The tool is able to provide accurate and reliable results in real-time rather than the two-to-five days required for existing processes that test infections and antibiotic susceptibility.

A UCLA-led research team has identified genetic processes involved in the neurodegeneration that occurs in dementia — an important step on the path toward developing therapies that could slow or halt the course of the disease. The findings appear Dec. 3 in the journal Nature Medicine.
The researchers discovered two major groups of genes involved in mutations that result in an overproduction of a protein called tau, a hallmark of the progressive loss of neurons seen in major forms of dementia.

What if instead of lining up for a flu shot of unknown effectiveness each fall, people could receive one vaccine that protects against all strains and lasts for many years, if not for life. It could spare incalculable amounts of suffering, and even eliminate terrifying pandemics. Scientists have spent decades trying to concoct such a "universal" flu vaccine and, at times, they seem to have made solid headway.
