Biophysical Journal, 1962 I should like to begin by saying that I feel very diffident about speaking on the subject which the organizers of this Conference invited me to discuss with you. What I have to say will inevitably be limited by the extreme superficiality of my acquaintance with modem biochemistry and biophysics.

Evaluating the Genetic Overlap Between Congenital Heart Disease and Neuroblastoma Risk
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Children with congenital heart disease (CHD) have elevated neuroblastoma (NB) risk, potentially due to shared neural crest origins. We analyzed rare exonic de novo single‐nucleotide variants in 702 CHD and 454 NB trios from the Neuroblastoma Epidemiology in North America Study, Gabriella Miller Kids First Program, and a published cohort. Seven

Is synthetic biology mechanical biology?
History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences, 2015 A widespread and influential characterization of synthetic biology emphasizes that synthetic biology is the application of engineering principles to living systems. Furthermore, there is a strong tendency to express the engineering approach to organisms in terms of what seems to be an ontological claim: organisms are machines.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Enhancing homology-directed repair efficiency with HDR-boosting modular ssDNA donor
Nature CommunicationsDespite the potential of small molecules and recombinant proteins to enhance the efficiency of homology-directed repair (HDR), single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) donors, as currently designed and chemically modified, remain suboptimal for precise gene editing ...
