In this collaborative work led by Benedikt Linder, curcusone D molecule helped to validate BRAT1 as a new therapeutic target for glioblastoma. Curcusone D also decreases the pro-migratory/invasive phenotype of glioblastoma and synergizes with irradiation. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Always appreciate such message from ACS Publications J. Am. Chem. Soc.. Glad to see that "Article views" numbers are valued! This is important for a field such as total synthesis, which doesn't get cited often, but attracts a lot of readership! Here is the paper: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…
