A team led by principal investigators Bobo Dang and Ting Zhou at Westlake University/Westlake Laboratory reported in Science a high-throughput platform for engineering fast-acting covalent protein therapeutics. Their work, titled “A high-throughput selection system for fast-acting covalent protein drugs,” opens new avenues for next-generation biologics.

An international team of researchers has investigated the biting capabilities of extinct predatory marine reptiles, revealing how these formidable predators could coexist within the same ecosystem. This work sheds new light on the hunting strategies of long-extinct predators that dominated the seas during the Age of Dinosaurs.

A chemical reaction between liquid metal and copper powder allows engineers to patch heavy machinery without extreme heat.
