Yesterday, I had the honor of sharing research from my lab as the 10th Dave Kilmer Memorial Lecture Speaker at UC Davis. Dr. Kilmer's pioneering work was a driving force behind my decision to pursue neuromuscular medicine as a career.

Beautiful paper. Scientists solved the structure of myosin—the protein that forms contractile filaments in muscle cells—in multiple configurations using Cryo-EM. They captured the entire power stroke action (where myosin pulls on actin to shorten the muscle) at4.4 Å resolution.

Team science is the best science. This is a great write up about a collaborative project triggered by a chance meeting during a virtual poster session at SFN. Plus there's more to come stemming this collaboration in the near future. carney.brown.edu/news/2025-0…
