Call for volunteers: Journal manuscript reviewers wanted
SLAS Share
SLAS proudly publishes two internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals: the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS) and the Journal of Laboratory Automation (JALA). Both journals rely on volunteer experts to rigorously review manuscripts prior to publication to ensure scientific excellence. Anyone interested in serving as an SLAS volunteer to assess prospective manuscripts for JALA and/or JBS, may register at JBS SAGEtrack and/or JALA SAGEtrack. Please pay special attention to the keywords (areas of expertise) in your personal profile to ensure manuscripts and reviewers are appropriately matched.

Capturing cancer cells with rough surfaces
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Tumors often shed malignant cells that then travel through a person's bloodstream. Because these cells can seed metastases, cancer researchers want ways of detecting these circulating tumor cells to understand and prevent cancer progression. In a new study, researchers report a cheap method for capturing these cells using just a rough glass slide.

New form of cell division found: Natural back-up mechanism during faulty cell division
Science Daily Share
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center have discovered a new form of cell division in human cells. They believe it serves as a natural back-up mechanism during faulty cell division, preventing some cells from going down a path that can lead to cancer. "If we could promote this new form of cell division, which we call klerokinesis, we may be able to prevent some cancers from developing," says lead researcher Dr. Mark Burkard.

Ion/ion reactions of MALDI-derived peptide ions: Increased sequence coverage via covalent and electrostatic modification upon charge inversion
Analytical Chemistry Share
Atmospheric pressure matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-derived tryptic peptide ions have been subjected to ion/ion reactions with doubly deprotonated 4-formyl-1,3-benzenedisulfonic acid in the gas-phase. The ion/ion reaction produces a negatively charged electrostatic complex composed of the peptide cation and reagent dianion, whereupon dehydration of the complex via collision-induced dissociation produces a Schiff base product anion.

Study unmasks regulator of healthy life span
Bioscience Technology Share
A new series of studies in mouse models by Mayo Clinic researchers uncovered that the aging process is characterized by high rates of whole-chromosome losses and gains in various organs, including heart, muscle, kidney and eye, and demonstrate that reducing these rates slows age-related tissue deterioration and promotes a healthier life span. The findings appear in Nature Cell Biology.

Structure and function of a unique pore-forming protein from a pathogenic acanthamoeba
Nature Chemical Biology Share
Human pathogens often produce soluble protein toxins that generate pores inside membranes, resulting in the death of target cells and tissue damage. In pathogenic amoebae, this has been exemplified with amoebapores of the enteric protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica.

pH measurements: How to see the real face of electrochemistry and corrosion?
Phys.org Share
For several decades antimony electrodes have been used to measure the acidity/basicity — and so to determine the pH value. Unfortunately, they allow for measuring pH changes of solutions only at a certain distance from electrodes or corroding metals. Researchers in Poland have developed a method for producing antimony microelectrodes that allow for measuring pH changes just over the metal surface, at which chemical reactions take place.

Permian mass extinction triggered by humble microbe
New Scientist Share
Around 251 million years ago, over 90 percent of the species on Earth suddenly went extinct. Their killer may not have been a devastating meteorite or a catastrophic volcanic eruption, but a humble microbe. The prevailing theory is that the mass extinction at the end of the Permian period was triggered by volcanic eruptions over a vast area of what is now Siberia. This led, among other things, to a dramatic rise in greenhouse gas emissions.

FDA approves anthrax treatment
The Associated Press via Drug Discovery & Development Share
Federal health officials say they approved a new injectable drug from Human Genome Sciences to treat inhalable anthrax. The Food and Drug Administration says raxibacumab will provide an alternative to antibiotic drugs that are currently the standard treatment for anthrax infection. Inhalation anthrax occurs when people breathe in the spores of Bacillus anthracis bacteria. The infection is treated with a 60-day course of antibiotics.
