NewsDelivering a human monoclonal IgG1 antibody to the brain
Adding a biodegradable polymer at the hinge and near hinge regions of trastuzumab enabled its movement across the blood-brain barrier.
-
NewsThe loading mechanism of bacteria injectisomes is now understood
Proximity labelling and single-particle tracking demonstrated that effectors in bacteria bind to mobile injectisome components.
