Principles of Chemical Biology: Iron and CSCs, Histone Acylation sans Enzymes, Eliciting Silent Gene Clusters, and 2'-deoxy-ADPR as a Second Messenger

Cell Chem Biol. 2017 Aug 17;24(8):919-920. doi: 10.1016/j.chembiol.2017.07.016.

Abstract

This month: Lysosomal iron linked to cell death in cancer stem cells, non-enzymatic catalyst SynCAc for histone acylation, cytotoxins ivermectin and etoposide bring new anti-fungals out of the crypt, and 2'-deoxy-ADPR as second messenger activating TRPM2.
