A foldamer ligand demonstrates drug-like properties and rescues synucleinopathy disease phenotypes in multiple in vitro and in vivo models.

Resilient and sensitive microneedle biosensor longitudinally tracks pharmacokinetics in skin and detects early signs of preclinical organ dysfunction.

B cell responses that bound to future H1N1 and influenza B virus strains, but not H3N2 strains, were elicited in adults by the 1994 influenza vaccine.

BAP1, LSD1, and PARP1 roles in nucleotide excision repair are revealed; BAP1-mutant pancancers are sensitive to LSD1i SP2509/2577 and PARPi olaparib.
