BioRxiv (2023) PubMed PMID: 37546940; PubMed Central PMCID: PMC10402079. The mammalian innate immune system uses cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS) to synthesize the cyclic dinucleotide 2′,3′-cGAMP during ...
This method allows specific delivery of anti-cancer prodrugs to tumor cells using affibody conjugation, to avoid unwanted off-target effects and increase the time between drug doses. Antibody-directed ...
Traditionally developed antibiotics generally act inhibiting essential bacterial enzymes. However, new strategies are urgently needed to discover novel antibiotics against bacterial infections, such ...
