Thrilled to share our Fanzor2 genome-editing work @NatureBiotech! We developed FanzMAX, a compact genome editor, by combining AI-assisted protein evolution, ωRNA engineering, and in vivo delivery. Huge thanks to all co-authors, and collaborators for making this work possible!

Penn researchers have built the first spatial map of the developing human kidney, analyzing more than 700,000 cells to show how soluble signals from neighboring cells guide development.
The study was conducted by the Penn-CHOP Kidney Innovation Center, a collaboration between @PennMedicine and @ChildrensPhila, in partnership with Penn Engineering and the @IRM_UPenn.
"The kidney is a physical structure, and physical context is not incidental to how it forms—it is instructive," says Alex J. Hughes, Associate Professor in @PennBioeng, who co-led the study.

Cuba: As of 12 p.m. ET, Cuba experienced a total power failure due to a collapse of Cuba’s electrical grid. According to Cuban regime media, the reason for the collapse and the timeline to restore power is unknown. All U.S. citizens in Cuba or planning to travel to Cuba should be aware and plan accordingly. There are reports of cellphone and internet outages.
