2025年终成果汇总
THE LATEST RESULTS
2025年已渐近尾声,在这一年里,徐Lab凭借着不懈的努力与执着追求,在科研领域持续深耕,不断收获累累硕果,书写着属于自己的精彩篇章。
01
论文发表成果斐然
在课题组组长的高瞻远瞩与精心引领下,全体学生和工作人员齐心协力、奋勇拼搏,共同营造出积极向上、勇于创新的科研氛围。本年度,团队在学术期刊发表方面成绩卓著,已在正刊及子刊级累计发表论文达27余篇。这一数字不仅是对课题组过去一年辛勤付出的有力肯定,更是其在科研道路上不断攀登高峰的有力见证。
02
重大突破再谱新篇
值得一提的是,继在《Nature》(2024)上首次揭示NET同源二聚化机制及抗抑郁药物识别机制后,2025年10月24日,临港实验室蒋轶研究员团队联合中国科学院上海药物研究所徐华强研究员、杨德华研究员团队,以及临港实验室王震研究员团队,在《Cell》上在线发表了题为“Unveiling conformation-selectivity regulation of the norepinephrine transporter”的研究论文。Cell | 蒋轶/徐华强/杨德华/王震团队提出去甲肾上腺素转运体构象选择性变构调控模型,为新一代抗抑郁药开发提供了新思路!
除了这一重大突破,课题组还有26篇子刊级文章发表,研究范围从G蛋白偶联受体解析到人工智能驱动下的产出,涵盖了多个前沿领域,充分展示了课题组广泛的科研视野和强大的科研实力。
03
黄金法则:高效科研,创新驱动
揭秘徐华强课题组高效科研背后的“黄金法则”,犹如揭开一层神秘的面纱,让我们看到了其成功的秘诀。
结构决定功能,解析驱动创新
G蛋白偶联受体(GPCR)是重要的药物靶点,其结构解析长期依赖传统X射线晶体学方法,存在诸多限制。冷冻电镜技术的突破使得科学家能在近生理状态下解析GPCR与其配体及G蛋白的复合物结构,极大地推动了相关功能机制的研究。基于结构的药物设计(SBDD)能够帮助开发更具选择性、副作用更小的药物分子。此外,针对GPCR信号通路的特异性调控,设计偏向性激动剂或拮抗剂,也为疾病个性化治疗提供了新方向。
机制深度解析,靶向精准干预
去甲肾上腺素转运体(NET)等神经递质转运体是抗抑郁药、兴奋剂等多种精神神经疾病药物的关键靶点。在对其研究中,课题组遵循多层次机制剖析的法则。在原子水平上,结合冷冻电镜和分子动力学模拟,如同显微镜下的精细观察,揭示底物识别、结合和转运的原子细节,让我们对 NET 的工作机制有了更深入的了解。研究转运体从向外开放到向内开放的完整构象变化周期,如同追踪一场精彩的舞蹈表演,了解其在不同状态下的变化规律,构建起一个完整的调控网络,为精准干预提供了理论依据。
数据智能驱动,颠覆传统范式
在当今科技飞速发展的时代,人工智能为科研带来了新的机遇和挑战。AlphaFold 革命准确预测蛋白质结构,如同拥有一本神奇的预言书,极大加速了靶点识别和验证阶段,节省了大量的时间和资源。生成式 AI 模型能够设计具有理想理化性质和结合特的全新分子结构,为药物研发提供了更多的可能性。强化学习优化通过循环的“设计 - 合成 - 测试”反馈,如同一个智能的优化大师,快速优化先导化合物,提高药物研发的效率和质量。
04
文化传承:火炬传递,突破无限
随着科研工作的深入推进,从基础研究到结构解析,再到临床新药验证,一代代的科研人如同接力赛中的运动员,举起手中的火炬进行“代帮式”的传递。这种传承不仅传递了知识和技能,更传递了科研的精神和理念,使得徐Lab喜报频传,形成了课题组隐形的文化力量。文章的发表不应该仅仅是数字的积累,更是团队科研理念与方法论的胜利。在这种理念的指引下,课题组不断实现“从0到1”的科研突破,为推动科研事业的发展做出了重要贡献。
2025年即将结束,2026年的脚步正徐徐走来,祝愿徐Lab以及上海市高峰电镜中心继往开来,再攀高峰!
