Researchers led by Dr. Jona Kayser at MPZPM report that physical processes in dense cell populations strongly influence the best timing of treatment cycles, with implications for both cancer therapy and antibiotics. Treatment resistance remains one of the central challenges in medicine, and the findings suggest that timing could be adjusted based on how tightly cells pack together rather than on biology alone. The work points to new ways of scheduling therapies to delay or avoid resistance.

At the 6th Virtual ChemBioTalks, Lars Stevens-Cullinane from Jeannine Hess's group gave a flash talk on a metal-dependent degrader strategy targeting metallo-beta-lactamases in Gram-negative bacteria. The approach could offer a way to undermine antibiotic resistance in hard-to-treat pathogens, and the talk accompanies a recent paper in JACS.

A new visualization highlights the concrete breakthroughs where artificial intelligence has delivered real answers, focusing on protein folding, antibiotic discovery, and materials science. The piece is prompting discussion about which scientific problems machines have genuinely cracked, rather than the usual hype, and where AI's practical impact on research has so far been limited.
