Chemistry World January 12, 2011 Amaya Camara-Campos	Artificial intestine for gut studies Three-dimensional hydrogel scaffolds for studying cells under realistic physiological conditions have been made by scientists from the US and Korea to study drug absorption in the gut.
Chemistry World January 11, 2011 Elinor Richards	Sensors in the blood Scientists from China have developed a water-soluble zinc-based fluorescent sensor to detect pyrophosphate in blood that isn't affected by the environment and can be used in real blood samples.
Chemistry World January 7, 2011 James Urquhart	Urchins bare their teeth in materials research The mystery of how sea urchins maintain sharp teeth as they grind holes into rock has been solved by researchers in the US and Israel.
Chemistry World January 7, 2011 Russell Johnson	Sticky hydrogels make resilient wound dressings An adhesive material made from a hydrogel filled with nanoparticles could lead to wound dressings that won't fall off when you sweat.
Chemistry World January 2011 Paul Docherty	Column: Totally Synthetic Although the story is incomplete, the target is a worthy challenge - leiodolides A and B have powerful activity and selectivity against NI60 tumour cells, and may lead to therapeutic agents.
Chemistry World January 6, 2011 Laura Howes	Using HIV against itself US researchers have developed a 'Trojan horse' molecule that uses HIV to trigger the release of a drug that destroys the virus.
Chemistry World January 6, 2011 Rachel Cooper	Toxin sensor for drinking water A green and simple method to make a sensor to detect one of the most toxic cyanotoxins, microcystin-LR, has been devised by scientists from China.
Chemistry World January 5, 2011 Akshat Rathi	Macromolecules from miniature templates UK researchers have designed a new highly effective method to construct large molecules of a defined size using simple templates.
Chemistry World January 5, 2011 Hayley Birch	Nanoparticles build up New research suggests that nanomaterials that are released into the environment could accumulate in food chains.
Chemistry World January 5, 2011 Jon Cartright	Silk woven into transistors Researchers in Sweden and Spain have created transistors woven from modified silk fibres. The breakthrough bodes well for a new generation of electronic circuits that can be incorporated into fabrics or inserted into biological environments.
