Professor Kevin Kou and colleagues from the University of California, Riverside and the City of Hope National Medical Center have developed a chemical synthetic strategy that allows for the efficient generation of a diverse library of oxyberberine derivatives. This technology is advantageous because the family of protoberberine molecules, the best known being berberine, is generally considered non-toxic. As such, protoberberine derivatives are likely to elicit a better safety profile compared to existing AMPK inhibitors that are highly toxic and be developed to treat a range of diseases.  Fig 1: Four of the UCR novel AMPK inhibitors resulting from the UCR synthesis strategy.

Advances in biological research have been greatly influenced by the development of organoids, a specialized form of 3D cell culture. Created from pluripotent stem cells, organoids are effective in vitro models in replicating the structure and progression of organ development, providing an exceptional tool for studying the complexities of biology. Among these, cerebral cortex organoids (hereafter "organoid") have become particularly instrumental in providing valuable insights into brain formation, function, and pathology. Despite their potential, organoid experiments present several challenges. Organoids require a rigorous, months-long developmental process, demanding substantial resources and meticulous care to yield valuable data on aspects of biology such as neural unit electrophysiology, cytoarchitecture, and transcriptional regulation. Traditionally the data has been difficult to collect on a more frequent and consistent basis, which limits the breadth and depth of modern organoid biology. Generating and measuring organoids depend on media manipulations, imaging, and electrophysiological measurements. Historically are labor- and skill-intensive processes which can increase risks associated with experimental validity, reliability, efficiency, and scalability.

Researchers at the University of California, Davis have developed a technology that significantly improves the timing and spatial resolution of PET scans using dual-ended readout detectors.

Dr. René Riedel and Stephen Lepore from the University of California, Riverside have developed an NMR tube/reactor that enables in-situ irradiation to photo-initiate reactions in an inert or controlled atmosphere. It allows for the data acquisition of air, moisture, and temperature-sensitive liquid samples by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy without needing to remove the sample from the spectrometer for irradiation. This technology is advantageous because it makes photochemical reactions and kinetic measurements of sensitive samples more reproducible, and it enables the previously impossible maintenance of a controlled environment during photochemical NMR investigations.

A cornerstone of bacterial molecular biology is the ability to genetically manipulate the microbe under study. Manipulating the genomes of bacteria is critical to many fields. Such manipulations are made by genetic engineering, which often requires new pieces of DNA to be added to the genome. It is often difficult to move genes into a recalcitrant destination organism due to surveillance systems (CRISPR, Restriction Modification) of the destination/host which degrade invading DNA . It may be commercially desirable to evade these systems in the destination organism. However, evading these systems may require significant experimental effort to design and implement.

 Professors Richard Schrock, Matthew Conley, and colleagues from the University of California, Riverside have developed a new Schrock catalysts for olefin metathesis that can be produced in fewer synthetic steps, activated with perfluorinated alcohols, and reactivated using light or heat. The method provides a more convenient route to a variety of Schrock catalysts that avoid corrosive triflic acid and reactive Grignard reagents to yield Schrock catalysts, which can then be converted readily into other catalyst variations. This technology is advantageous because it is a safer and less expensive way to synthesize and activate Schrock catalysts for industrial and research applications.
