Characterisation of IL-23 receptor antagonists and disease relevant mutants using fluorescent probes
Nature Communications, 2023 Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the IL-23 receptor with several auto-inflammatory diseases, led to the heterodimeric receptor and its cytokine-ligand IL-23, becoming important drug targets.

A dark intermediate in the fluorogenic reaction between tetrazine fluorophores and trans-cyclooctene
Biophysical Reports, 2022 Fluorogenic labeling via bioorthogonal tetrazine chemistry has proven to be highly successful in fluorescence microscopy of living cells. To date, trans-cyclooctene (TCO) and bicyclonyne have been found to be the most useful substrates for live-cell ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

GRK Mediates μ-Opioid Receptor Plasma Membrane Reorganization
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019 Differential regulation of the μ-opioid receptor (MOP) has been linked to the development of opioid tolerance and dependence which both limit the clinical use of opioid analgesics.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Visualizing Ligand Binding to a GPCR In Vivo Using NanoBRET
iScience, 2018 Summary: The therapeutic action of a drug depends on its ability to engage with its molecular target in vivo. However, current drug discovery strategies quantify drug levels within organs rather than determining the binding of drugs directly to their ...
