Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...

A Bifunctional Small Molecule Degrader of the Long Noncoding RNA MALAT1 Triplex

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Targeting disease‐linked RNAs with small molecules is often limited by the modest impact of binding RNA structure alone. Here, we present a first‐in‐class bifunctional molecule that degrades the oncogenic lncRNA MALAT‐1 by inducing proximity between the RNA and a cleaving warhead.
