Glow-worms! A new protocol to perform targeted RES delivery in living worms is released
September 2017 – Original Research Communication – “Precision electrophile tagging in C. elegans” Selected as an “ACS Editors’ Choice” article! Electrophile adduction to privileged sensor proteins and the resulting phenotypically-dominant responses are increasingly appreciated to be essential for metazoan health. Functional similarities between the biological electrophiles and electrophilic pharmacophores commonly found in covalent drugs further fortify (…)
