Hitting the Bullseye: Endogenous Electrophiles Show Remarkable Nuance in Signaling Regulation

Yimon Aye, Pierre Alexander Miranda Herrera

Our bodies produce a host of electrophilic species that can label specific endogenous proteins in cells. The signaling roles of these molecules are under active debate. However, in our opinion, it is becoming increasingly likely that electrophiles can rewi ...
