Reversible Control of RNA Splicing by Photoswitchable Small Molecules

We demonstrated the potential of photopharmacology modulation in splicing, tweaking the current optochemical toolkit. Our work pioneers a reversible approach to regulate RNA splicing within primary patient-derived cells by synthetic photoswitches. Read more here J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2023, accepted You cannot imagine how happy we are and what this means for our small lab!! […]

ACS Central Science – Accepted!!!

An advanced Xmas present! Our Conformationally Strained Visible light Photoswitches (CS-VIPs) are genuine binary functional switches that enable hematopoisis photocontrol in zebrafish by releasing the chromatin modifier MLL1. An heroic mutidisciplinary effort in pandemic times!! We made it, Lea! Thank you everybody.

As Whitesides said “Interesting & unpublished is equivalent to non-existent”. We believe that published & unread does not make it any better. We publish to share our findings and achieve a collective advancement in science. Therefore, we are thrilled that our work on photoswitchable protein-protein interaction (PPI) modulators belongs to the 2019 top downloaded ChemBioChem […]
