The August 2024 issue of Nature Chemistry features a cover image representing the research led by Margaret Daly, Kengo Nishi, and Ronit Freeman. The research spans multiple years in developing peptide -based filaments with DNA crosslinkers that forms networks and act as actin, creating a dynamic and synthetic cytoskeletal structure within a confined cell. 

This groundbreaking study will be an instrumental leap forward in developing synthetic treatments and therapies with engineered tissues and organs.
