Thank you @ShellyFan for this great summary of our work and for including "Flip Flop" in the article (sounds a lot like Phil-ip FloP, which is what @FloPraetorius and I called the hinges for a while) singularityhub.com/2023/08/2… #AI #ProteinDesign

AI Can Now Design Proteins That Behave Like Biological ‘Transistors’

New designer proteins morph between two different forms—think a hinge in either an open or closed configuration—depending on an external biological “lock.”

If some can bottle up the scent of an old book (or a second hand bookstore), I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Academic Twitter! Is it bad to say “under the editor’s advice” when replying to a reviewer, because the two don’t agree?

Thank you @ShellyFan for the clearest (read, picturesque) explanation of our work @liugroup @davidrliu. While reading, I thought, "Wow, even my grandparents will understand my work! Finally!" Well someone will 1st have to translate this into Nepali.😄 🙏🙏 singularityhub.com/2022/01/1…

New Virus-Like Particles Can Deliver CRISPR to Any Cell in the Body

The engineered virus-like particles (eVLPs) can deliver CRISPR and base editing components to a myriad of organs with minimal side effects.

Science folks! Some help with jargon-y grammar? Is it [pick your fav post-translational mod] on [residue] or [PTM] at [residue]? I've always used "at" but apparently people use "on" as well? "Phosphorylation on S###" just sounds wrong to me. 🤷‍♀️

If you believe #healthequity is essential to advancing the #science we need to overcome #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia, please urge Congress to pass the #ENACTAct. #ENDALZ #AAIC21 #StrongerTogether #ScienceMatters #JusticeMatters
ALZ Impact Movement@ALZIMPACT30 Jul 2021
Alzheimer’s & other dementia disproportionately affect older Black and Hispanic Americans. Yet too often the clinical trial staff and participants don’t reflect the U.S. population. The #ENACTAct will address these shortcomings. Show your support: p2a.co/xuOMRgm. #ENDALZ

Why the hell would anyone want a half-monkey, half-human embryo? Whelp, we’re getting close. My latest for @singularityhub singularityhub.com/2021/04/2…

Scientists Grew Human Cells in Monkey Embryos, and Yes, It’s an Ethical Minefield

The team injected each monkey embryo with 25 human cells, and the two species of cells were able to come together and influence each other.
