New Polyethylene Glycols (PEG) as versatile biochemical linkers
Polyethylene Glycols (aka. PEGs) are biologically inert, non-immunogenic, and hydrophilic molecules. These properties make them very attractive for research and drug discovery applications (ex. Antibody-Drug
How to activate or inhibit autophagy?
The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes – which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with
