CarboTag: a modular approach for live and functional imaging of plant cell walls
CarboTag
We took inspiration from the chemistry used by plants themselves for cell wall binding. Plants use the natural compound boric acid B(OH)3, which is used as a crosslinker for cell wall components11. Boric acid can bind cell walls based on…

ATLAS: a rationally designed anterograde transsynaptic tracer
AF production
Amino acids 1–394 of GluA1 grown in Sf9 (Spodoptera frugiperda) cells was used as a target for an mRNA display selection, carried out as described in ref. 44. FingRs amplified from the ninth round of selection were fused to a Myc…
