When it comes to modulating cereblon for TPD, the future is allostery 🫡. Read more about this intersection of allosteric modulation and target protein degradation in our latest review by Vanessa 🥂, out now in @ACSCentSci! 💙 #thefutureisallostery

We posted a preprint on all-to-all functional mapping of a cortical microcircuit in vivo. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Yitong Qi developed molecular tools, optics, and protocols for massively parallel optogenetic stimulation and voltage imaging during animal behavior.

In the 1950s, Lipscomb & colleagues unpicked the structures of several boranes using low-temperature x-ray crystallography, determining they shared two electrons across three atoms.
This accounted for boranes’ unusual geometry & unexpected dipole moment.

We wrote a tutorial guide on voltage imaging, now out in Neuron: authors.elsevier.com/a/1nlgh…. Indicators, microscopes, and software have all advanced to the point that it's not so hard -- you can now directly watch the electrical activity of neurons in live animals or in culture.

Competing species/strains lead to noisy, complex evolutionary trajectories. It's difficult to extract genotype fitnesses from experimental time series or population-level sequencing data.
Until now! All you need is 1 equation:

Useful for experiments!

I’m thrilled to announce Fitness Landscape Design (FLD), the first protocols for reshaping protein evolution to fight disease! FLD can proactively suppress viral fitness trajectories before mutations even arise. @Harvard @MIT
Today in PNAS: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.26…
MORE SOON!

The 2026 #ErnestSolvayPrize goes to Prof. Xiaowei Zhuang from Harvard University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
Her pioneering work in advanced cellular imaging lets scientists map and visualize the inner organization of cells and tissues at the molecular level, revealing how the body responds to a change and where this response takes place.
This is science that pushes boundaries and helps build a more sustainable, connected and human future.
