2019.09.23: An article about mechano-chemistry/biology field is in press: M. Taki*, T. Yamashita, K. Yatabe, and V. Vogel*, Mechano-chromic protein-polymer hybrid hydrogel to visualize mechanical strain, Soft Matter, in press (2019); Prof. Taki (@UEC) & Prof. Yamashita (@Univ. Keio) equally contributed to the work.
I am so grateful that the two (blinded) reviewers, as well as the editor (i.e. Prof. P. Janmey) have spent their precious time for the peer reviewing and gave us lot of fruitful discussions and suggestions; this revision made our manuscript so convincing.

2019.09.18: Hirasawa's work about middle molecules-Fc fusion made by the NEXT-A reaction was selected as a front cover article of Bioconjugate Chemistry (September). This work was also featured in UEC e-Bulletin English version:　http://www.ru.uec.ac.jp/e-bulletin/research-highlights/2019/convenient-synthesis-of-biopharmaceutic-fc-conjugates.html

2019.09.17: 2019.09.17 Prof. Taki performed a seminar at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) entitled:Targeted binders from combinatorial library for medicinal / diagnostic uses.

2019.09.08: Yudai & Prof. Taki poster presentations entitled: Yudai Tabuchi, Masumi Taki, Fluorescent "keep-on" type pharmacophore obtained from dynamic combinatorial library of Schiff bases at International Symposium on Dyes & Pigments (Seville, Spain).

2019.08.19: Kazuki poster presentations entitled: Kazuki Yatabe, Masaru Hisada, Yudai Tabuchi & Masumi Taki, Novel photo-crosslinking caged fluorophore as peptide cysteine modifier: binding-site determination of the targeted peptide binder at 27th FAOBMB & 44th MSBMB Conference (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia).
