One cannot rule them all: Are bacterial toxins-antitoxins druggable?
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2015 Type II (proteic) toxin–antitoxin (TA) operons are widely spread in bacteria and archaea. They are organized as operons in which, usually, the antitoxin gene precedes the cognate toxin gene.

Bioorthogonal Engineering of Cellular Microenvironments Using Isonitrile Ligations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Highly selective chemistries are required for fabrication and post‐cross–linking modification of cell‐encapsulating hydrogels used in tissue engineering applications. Isonitrile ligation reactions represent a promising class of bioorthogonal chemistries for engineering hydrogel‐based cellular microenvironments. Isonitrile‐based hydrogels are stable and
