Reports of an explosion hears around Boston I believe are going to be a rather significant bolide/meteor entering the atmosphere. Very large "flash" detected by GOES-19 GLM that does not correlate with active thunderstorms. #MAwx

We’ve selected KRRO-111 as a development candidate for the potential treatment of #AATD. In preclinical studies, KRRO-111 achieved >90% RNA editing of SERPINA1 transcripts, translating to ~90% repaired functional AAT protein. Learn more: https://t.co/ZgDo6ug3s4

Korro Bio will host a virtual Analyst Day on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 8:00 AM ET.

The program will feature an overview of ammonia-driven diseases – urea cycle disorders (UCD) and hepatic encephalopathy, a caregiver’s perspective on living with UCD, and insights into KRRO-121, our development candidate for the potential treatment of patients with hyperammonemia.

The Q&A session will take place at 9:15 AM.

@JCellBiol @vpbos @BU_Biochemistry @BUCNSB I’m so exited to finally see this work out!

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

.@dafneina, @vpbos and colleagues at @BU_Biochemistry and @BUCNSB characterize NEURL4 as a novel mitochondrial ART enzyme required for the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis through ADP-ribosylation. https://t.co/HOvIeD75wb #mitochondria, #PARylation, #mtDNA, #fertility

[Dafne Cardamone @Dafneina]

@TeleseFrancesca Congrats!

[Dafne Cardamone @Dafneina]

So exited and proud of this work that we can finally share! If you are among the one wondering about the #enzyme that catalyze PARylation in the #mitochondria here what you were waiting for. New #ART family member. https://t.co/1SNth0IP1r

Just to be clear the @pfizer covid-19 vaccine is entirely financed by the company not by the USA government. #FactCheck!

Here’s that moment when @pfizer’s @AlbertBourla told @margbrennan why he said “no” to taxpayer dollars: “I wanted to liberate our scientists from any bureaucracy”

It’s a good day for all! #CharacterMatters

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.

It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.

Today is a good day.

Given the lengthy presymptomatic phase and asymptomatic infections, a new #SciMagPerspective argues that wearing well-fitted masks, especially in enclosed indoor spaces, is important to help prevent #SARSCoV2 transmission. https://t.co/aNFshLN7Al @ScienceVisuals
