Covalent Activation of the C‐type Lectin DC‐SIGN We introduce the first covalent activators of a C-type lectin. Using orthogonal functional assays, NMR, MS/MS, and computational modeling, we delineate mechanisms from a functional electrophile-first...

Surprising discovery of a covalent activator of a C-type lectin!
We identified the first covalent small-molecule activators of the human C-type lectin DC-SIGN.
Instead of inhibiting glycan binding, two warheads increased DC-SIGN activity.

Targeted Drug Delivery ermöglicht zielsichere Medikamente Mit Targeted Drug Delivery werden Immunzellen in der Haut gezielt angesteuert – so minimieren der Molekularbiologe Christoph Rademacher und sein Team Nebenwirkungen. Das eröffnet neue Therapieoptionen...

Mittels Targeted Delivery können #Medikamente direkt am Bestimmungsort wirken. Ein Forschungsteam @univie.ac.at hat eine Methode entwickelt, mit der Immunzellen in der Haut zielsicher angesteuert werden können. @chrrademacher.bsky.social #scilog 💊

Congratulations!

That was an exciting meeting ! Thanks for the invite and the fantastic organization

It was a great privilege to chair the ChemBio VII conference (www.chembiovii.es) held in Seville. The organizing committee worked very hard to make the meeting a success. Amazing contributions and discussions in Chemical Biology with colleagues, with the beautiful Seville as a backdrop.
