Although multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mass spectrometry holds considerable promise for quantifying candidate protein biomarkers in blood, transferability of MRM assays between laboratories has never been shown. Addona et al. assess the reproducibility, dynamic range and limits of detection and quantification of MRM across multiple sites.

Sequential treatment of drug-resistant tumors with targeted minicells containing siRNA or a cytotoxic drug
Jennifer A MacDiarmid, Nancy B Amaro-Mugridge, Jocelyn Madrid-Weiss, Ilya Sedliarou, Stefanie Wetzel, Kartini Kochar, Vatsala N Brahmbhatt, Leo Phillips, Scott T Pattison, Carlotta Petti, Bruce Stillman, Robert M Graham & Himanshu Brahmbhatt

Drug resistance remains a major hurdle to effective cancer chemotherapy. MacDiarmid et al. show that bacterially derived minicells packaged with siRNAs reverse tumor drug resistance and that subsequent treatment with minicells loaded with cytotoxic drugs causes tumor stabilization or regression.

Rapid and systematic analysis of the RNA recognition specificities of RNA-binding proteins
Debashish Ray, Hilal Kazan, Esther T Chan, Lourdes Peña Castillo, Sidharth Chaudhry, Shaheynoor Talukder, Benjamin J Blencowe, Quaid Morris & Timothy R Hughes

Until now, determining the sequences recognized by an RNA-binding protein has been time and labor intensive. Ray et al. use a custom pool of >210,000 oligos that encode linear and stem-loop RNAs to rapidly determine the sequences bound by nine RNA-binding proteins.

Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Author(s) Nature Biotechnology advance online publication, day month year (doi:10.1038/nbtXXXXX)". Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Author(s) Nature Biotechnology volume, page (year); advance online publication, (doi:10.1038/nbtXXXXX)".
