Stable cell reprogramming in plants demonstrated in new study using synthetic memory circuits.
In our new study in @NatureBiotech we describe a toolkit of synthetic gene circuits for stable cell reprogramming in plants. We hope this platform will provide useful new tools to the community for engineering plant form and function with greater precision nature.com/articles/s41587-0…

Colabfold paper is out! Congrats to everyone involved for this important work. A great step forward for modern bioinformatics. #bioinformatics #proteinfolding
Excited to see colabfold published! nature.com/articles/s41592-0… Special thanks to @thesteinegger and @milot_mirdita (for MMseqs2) without whom I would have never considered to preprint let alone attempt to publish our notebook! (1/3)

Congratulations to Astrix Astronautics on their successful launch of an inflatable solar array, great to see the prototype move from the lab next door into low earth orbit!

COPIA has spread its wings!🛰️ This hardware from Astrix Astronautics was a hosted payload on the Kick Stage for #ThereAndBackAgain. The inflatable solar arrays successfully unfurled, demonstrating a key step in scalable and affordable power generation in space.

Helico’s vision is to replace pharmaceutical factories with ‘pharming’ – growing high-value therapeutic compounds via low-tech agriculture. It’s first target? Insulin. bit.ly/31U4fqJ #HealthTech #MedTech #FoodTech #BioTech #ArtificialIntelligence #AI #HealthTechActivator

Very exciting times for biology, multi-chain protein complexes are responsible for the most important mechanisms in cells and yet are the least understood due to their complexity. Hats off to @DeepMind for these prompt updates! #complexpredictions
The #AlphaFold source code has been updated and now accounts for multi-chain protein complexes - providing a significant improvement in accuracy for predicting protein interactions: dpmd.ai/af-multimer-os Generate predictions from your browser via: dpmd.ai/alphafold-colab

After a longitudinal analysis of vaccine responses in #SARSCoV2 naïve and recovered people, researchers report increases in memory B cells. This may contribute to rapid responses that limit initial viral replication in the host, preventing severe disease. fcld.ly/jakmeld

Very nice of you @DeepMind, will be nice to put this into practice with some lab automation.
We’ve acquired the MuJoCo physics simulator (mujoco.org) and are making it free for all, to support research everywhere. MuJoCo is a fast, powerful, easy-to-use, and soon to be open-source simulation tool, designed for robotics research: dpmd.ai/mujoco-blog

Replying to @helicobio
@helicobio has the ambition of taking on the oligopoly of drug manufacturers - by harnessing plants as bio-factories for pharmaceutical compounds. knooknz.com/post/knook-44-he…
