Electrophilic proximity-inducing synthetic adapters enhance universal T cell function by covalently enforcing immune receptor signaling [@RulloLab]

Covalent Modifiers

Rullo Molecular Therapy 2024 DOI: [link] Proximity-induction of cell-cell interactions via small molecules represents an emerging field in basic and translational sciences. The molecules, termed covalent immune recruiters (CIRs), were designed to affinity label and covalently engage SARs. Lake, Galina Denisova,Joanne A.

A new drug approval for the vanguard of RNA-targeted small molecules

Dark Matter Blog

A few years ago, at Arrakis Therapeutics, we set out to conquer a strange new territory, drugging RNA structures with small molecules. We have overcome many obstacles on this mission, inventing new concepts and methods where necessary and re-engineering known concepts and methods where possible. We will replace it.”
