Identification of indocyanine green as a STT3B inhibitor against mushroom α-amanitin cytotoxicity
The “death cap”, Amanita phalloides, is the world’s most poisonous mushroom, responsible for 90% of mushroom-related fatalities. The most fatal component of the death cap is α-amanitin.

Long-Term Resistance of Drosophila melanogaster to the Mushroom Toxin Alpha-Amanitin. [PDF]
Insect resistance to toxins exerts not only a great impact on our economy, but also on the ecology of many species. Resistance to one toxin is often associated with cross-resistance to other, sometimes unrelated, chemicals. In this study, we investigated
