Denis Titov@Denis_V_Titov·
Awesome paper by @SWitus64671 and @RapeLab showing a new mode of allosteric feedback regulation of nucleotides through PPAT/NUDT5 complex. Explains longstanding paradox that PPAT feedback inhibition seemed to require supraphysiological nucleotide levels. nature.com/articles/s4158…

One approved medicine (Casgevy). One child treated with a bespoke gene editor. When are we getting to, say, 48 of the former and 384 of the latter? Yours truly offers an answer of the "cautious optimism" variety in this podcast.
ASGCT@ASGCTherapy

Fyodor Urnov, 2026 ASGCT Catalyst Award co-recipient, joins this episode of The Issue to discuss the rapid evolution of gene-editing technology and the critical role of industry-wide collaboration in bringing life-changing therapies to patients. 🎧 Listen: asgct.org/education-care…

Berkeley scientists have now answered a major question in coral biology: How are algae able to thrive inside the cells of coral? Their findings could reveal why this symbiosis fails and suggest ways to restore it to save the world’s reefs. bit.ly/3SFr1Nq

🧵 New paper alert! Today on bioRxiv, we show how a microtubule (MT) associated protein, MTCL1, links 2 regulatory layers: mechanical MT stabilization and writing of then tubulin code. A multi-lab effort driven by @Juanmabertoldi1 and Julie Dang spanning atoms to organisms. 1/n

Congrats to MCB's Greg Barton on receiving the 2026 Lupus Insight Prize! 🥂👏
Lupus Research@LupusResearch

The LRA is pleased to share the recipients of the 2026 Lupus Insight Prize: Gregory Barton, PhD, @UCBerkeley and Olivia Majer, PhD, @CincyChildrens for groundbreaking discoveries revealing how a key regulator of the immune sensor TLR7 keeps immune responses in check—and how changes in this pathway can contribute to lupus. Their work is opening new paths for more precise, targeted therapies. The Prize will be awarded at @ACRheum #ACRConvergence2026 during the Lupus Research Alliance Lupus Insight Prize Lectureship. Save the date! 📅 November 10, 2026  🕛 3:30-4:30 PM ET #LupusResearch #Lupus #LupusInsightPrize
