Lighting up FGFR signaling.

In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Kim and colleagues describe their work on optogenetic control of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling. By engineering a chimeric receptor, the authors demonstrate that FGFR intracellular signaling can be controlled in space and time by blue light.

GFP: Lighting up life.

I want to thank the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Nobel Foundation for this amazing and surprising honor. At first I wondered why I, a biologist and a person with less than enviable college grades in chemistry, had been selected. Then I realized that this prize had actually been given to the GFP molecule, and I am one of its assistants. Thank you for letting me be part of the celebr...

Lighting Up the Mechanome

biological machinery—the " mechanome " —will open the way to new strategies for fighting disease. Genomics and general " omics " approaches, such as proteomics, inter-actomics, and glycomics, among others, are powerful system-level tools in biology. All of these fields are supported by advances in instrumentation and computation, such as DNA sequencers and mass spectrometers, which were critica...
