A new, nerdy paper. We figured out (some) of the rules underlying cell-permeability of probes and designed ligands that light up, grab, and move proteins around. Awesome @hhmijanelia.bsky.social x @uwmadison.bsky.social x @stjuderesearch.bsky.social collaboration! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

A fantastic achievement

Influence of neuromuscular transmission and Na+ channel inhibitors on strength-duration relationship in isolated slow- and fast-twitch muscles - Journal of Muscle Research and Cell Motility Strength-duration (S-D) relationship reflects muscle excitability which partially determines force production. Isolated muscle contains part of nerve and neuromuscular junction, suggesting that muscle...
