News tips from ACS Chemical Biology

Highlights from the American Chemical Society journal, ACS Chemical Biology, are now available on EurekAlert!. Below is a link to the April 2007 edition.

In the current issue we learn:

That a known antifungal drug can also inhibit the formation of new blood vessels. Understanding how blood vessels form is an important aspect in wound healing and cancer treatment.

How nanoparticles can help deliver short interfering RNAs to cells more effectively, which may aid in the development of clinical applications of these RNAs

That more is better, at least in terms of antigens that activate B cells.

About a new, specific way to add molecular tags, like fluorescent sensors, to antibodies.

That there are several ways to inhibit protein kinase B, an important cell signaling molecule that is activated in many kinds of cancers.

How small invertebrates like worms and flies can be used in high throughput screening
