Congratulations to Dr. Yinglong Miao for earning major media attention for his team’s groundbreaking study revealing, for the first time, how G-protein complexes detach from activated GPCRs—a key step in cell signaling. Using advanced molecular simulations, the Miao Lab uncovered mechanisms that could guide the development of safer, more precise therapeutics.
