🔬 After halogen bond-mediated uptake, we're back with something heavier👇 📢 In Angewandte Chemie : We report the demonstration of cellular uptake mediated by chalcogen bonding! 🧪 A leap forward in non-covalent delivery strategies. 📰 Read the full study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/an…

🚨New from our lab in Free Radical Biology & Medicine! A selenium-based small molecule specifically mimics GPX4, blocks lipid peroxidation & protects neurons from ferroptosis. A promising anti-ferroptotic agent for neurodegenerative diseases! 🔗 doi.org/10.1016/j.free…
