Organoids can mimic human organs, but we study them mostly with static, endpoint assays. A new perspective argues for instrumented tissues, which are engineered human tissue woven with electrical, chemical, mechanical, and optical sensor arrays, to move faster from disease mechanism to therapy.

Proteins are the machinery of life. Scientists have cataloged billions of protein sequences—but their biology is still mostly unknown. ESM Atlas is a new way in. bit.ly/4dJcF6G
