Chimera states are spatiotemporal patterns in which coherence and incoherence coexist. We observe the coexistence of synchronous (coherent) and desynchronous (incoherent) domains in a neuronal network. The network is composed of coupled adaptive exponential integrate-and-fire neurons that are connected by means of chemical synapses. In our neuronal network, the chimera states exhibit spatial structures both with spike and burst activities. Furthermore, those desynchronized domains not only have either spike or burst activity, but we show that the structures switch between spikes and bursts as the time evolves. Moreover, we verify the existence of multicluster chimera states.

Small molecule degraders such as PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues are new modalities for drug development and important tools for target validation. When appropriately optimized, both modalities lead to proteasomal degradation of the protein of interest (POI). Due to the complexity of the induced multistep degradation process, controls for degrader evaluation are critical and commonly used in the literature.

Synchrony in neuronal networks is crucial for cognitive functions, motor coordination, and various neurological disorders. While traditional research has focused on pairwise interactions between neurons, recent studies highlight the importance of higher-order interactions involving multiple neurons. Both types of interactions lead to complex synchronous spatiotemporal patterns, including the fascinating phenomenon of chimera states, where synchronized and desynchronized neuronal activity coexist.

Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are dual-functional molecules composed of a protein of interest (POI) ligand and an E3 ligase ligand connected by a linker, which can recruit POI and E3 ligases simultaneously, thereby inducing the degradation of POI and showing great potential in disease treatment. A challenge in developing PROTACs is the design of linkers and the modification of ligands to establish a multifunctional platform that enhances degradation efficiency and antitumor activity. As a programmable and modifiable nanomaterial, DNA tetrahedron can precisely assemble and selectively recognize molecules and flexibly adjust the distance between molecules, making them ideal linkers.

Rearranged during transfection (RET) kinase is a validated therapeutic target for various cancers characterized by RET alterations. Although two selective RET inhibitors, selpercatinib and pralsetinib, have been approved by the FDA, acquired resistance through solvent-front mutations has been identified rapidly. Developing proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) targeting RET mutations offers a promising strategy to combat drug resistance.
