This paper is really elegant and beautiful. Researchers took a vesicle, filled it with a single type of enzyme and some protein pores, and showed that this "minimal cell," made from just three components (!!), could "actively propel itself toward an enzyme substrate gradient."

Our Issue 07 launch party in San Francisco was a smashing success. 🏏 Thanks to everyone who came and played Biology Trivia. Winning teams got copies of our DNA books, hats, and posters. It was a really fun time! See you in the fall, in Boston, for the next one. :)

Possible there's some unintended CasRx effect, but it seems to work. They also check for large dels and it doesn't seem toxic. Overall worth a try, good job Zongyang Lu & Zhen Liu!

For mouse engineering aficionados - an HR booster (~2x) that works on mouse embryos across sites. Yes, it's MMEJ/NHEJ double inh (AZD7648 DNA-PKcs inh + CasRx vs Polq), but the path to find this combination wasn't easy - other DNA-PKcs inh don't work in embryos, nor do siRNAs.

We’re @BlaineyLab sharing a major update to CROPseq-multi, our versatile system for CRISPR screens that is compatible with individual and combinatorial perturbations, diverse SpCas9-based technologies, and multiple high-content, single-cell readouts. https://t.co/GIar9mgX3Z

Can an AI model predict perfectly and still have a terrible world model? What would that even mean? Our new ICML paper formalizes these questions One result tells the story: A transformer trained on 10M solar systems nails planetary orbits. But it botches gravitational laws 🧵
