In a fantastic collaboration with the group of Hana Algül (TUM) and Haiyu Hu (IMM Beijing) we have developed a DOTA-based fluorescent probe for in vivo imaging of plectin-1 that can aid early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. See the communication here: T. Gazzi, M. Lesina, Q. Wang et al.  https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.202318485

 

Meanwhile, in our most recent J Med Chem paper, Leo Mach et al. report specific drug-derived fluorescent probes for the Cannabinoid Receptor 1 (CB1R). In a highly collaborative effort, the probes were used in target engagement studies and live cell imaging to further our understanding of CB1R pharmacology and cell signaling. Congratulations, Leo!
