Protein–RNA interactions regulate RNA fate and function, and defects can lead to various disorders. Such interactions have mainly been studied by nucleoside-based UV crosslinking methods, which lack broad in vivo compatibility and the ability to resolve specific amino acids. In this study we genetically encoded latent bioreactive unnatural amino ac...
Human accelerated regions (HARs) are conserved genomic loci that have experienced rapid nucleotide substitutions following the divergence from chimpanzees1,2. HARs are enriched in candidate regulatory regions near neurodevelopmental genes, suggesting their roles in gene regulation³. However, their target genes and functional contributions to human...
Precise transcriptional regulation is critical for cellular function and development, yet the mechanism of this process remains poorly understood for many genes. To gain a deeper understanding of the regulation of neuropsychiatric disease risk genes, we identified a total of 39 functional enhancers for four dosage-sensitive genes, APP, FMR1, MECP2,...
Dysregulation and enhanced expression of MYC transcription factors (TFs) including MYC and MYCN contribute to the majority of human cancers. For example, MYCN is amplified up to several hundredfold in high-risk neuroblastoma. The resulting overexpression of N-myc aberrantly activates genes that are not activated at low N-myc levels and drives cell...
Phase separation (PS) drives the formation of biomolecular condensates that are emerging biological structures involved in diverse cellular processes. Recent studies have unveiled PS-induced formation of several transcriptional factor (TF) condensates that are transcriptionally active, but how strongly PS promotes gene activation remains unclear. H...
Candidate cis-regulatory elements (cCREs) in microglia demonstrate the most substantial enrichment for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) heritability compared to other brain cell types. However, whether and how these genome-wide association studies (GWAS) variants contribute to AD remain elusive. Here we prioritize 308 previously unreported AD risk variants...
Dysregulation and enhanced expression of MYC transcription factors (TFs) including MYC and MYCN contribute to the majority of human cancers. For example, MYCN is amplified up to several hundred-fold in high-risk neuroblastoma.

An abundant number of nanomaterials have been discovered to possess enzyme‐like catalytic activity, termed nanozymes. It was identified that a variety of internal and external factors influence the catalytic activity of nanozymes. However, there is a lack of essential methodologies to uncover the hidden mechanisms between nanozyme features and enzy...
Rationale: Employing in situ bioorthogonal catalysis within subcellular organelles, such as lysosomes, remains a challenge. Lysosomal membranes pose an intracellular barrier for drug sequestration, thereby greatly limiting drug accumulation and concentrations at intended targets. Here, we provide a proof-of-concept report of a nanozyme-based strate...
