New Tool to Add Strong, Unbreakable Bonds Between Two Points in Proteins

Proteins are the workhorses of cells, adopting conformations that allow them to set off chemical reactions, send signals and transport materials. But when a scientist is designing a new drug, trying to visualize the processes inside cells, or probe how molecules interact with each other, they can't always find a protein that will do the job they want. Instead, they often engineer their own novel proteins to use in experiments, either from scratch or by altering existing molecules.

Small Intestine Uses More Cells to Absorb Large Microspheres Containing Therapeutic Protein Drugs

The small intestine employs more cells and mechanisms than scientists previously thought to absorb relatively large particles, such as those that could encapsulate protein-based therapeutics like insulin, according to a new study. The findings, published the week of Aug. 5, 2013, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, open another window for drug makers to increase absorption of medicines taken by mouth.

Researchers Devise Synthesis Method for Hierarchical Nano-Length Scale Porous Polymer Films

Forming perfect porous polymer films is not enough; they need both large and small pores, and the process of making them needs to be simple, versatile and repeatable. Creatively combining already established techniques, Cornell materials researchers have devised a so-called hierarchical porous polymer film synthesis method that may help make these materials useful for applications ranging from catalysis to bioengineering.

FDA Clears IntelligentMDx’s Automated Molecular Diagnostic Test for Detection of VRE Associated Genes

IntelligentMDx (privately held) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared its automated molecular diagnostic test that detects the presence of vanA and vanB genes that can be associated with vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). This is one of the tests in IMDx's portfolio of infectious disease products to be cleared by the FDA for use on Abbott's fully automated m2000 platform.
