It's been a long time coming, but so excited to see this finally out! We've a few more tricks up our sleeves in the design of inhibitors...🤔

The Perfect Cacio e Pepe Recipe, According to Science Italian scientists have drawn from thermodynamic principles to prevent a famous pasta from turning into a gooey mess.

'The authors were aware they were treading on sensitive ground. “I hope that eight Italian authors is enough,” said Ivan Di Terlizzi, a statistical physicist at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems in Dresden, Germany, who is originally from Puglia, Italy.'

Critical assessment of LC3/GABARAP ligands used for degrader development and ligandability of LC3/GABARAP binding pockets - Nature Communications Autophagosome tethering compounds (ATTECs) are small molecule degraders hijacking the autophagy system. Here, the authors show that current ATTEC ligands did not bind to their designated targets but e...
