'Frog 🐸 protein saves mice 🐭 from deadly toxin ☠️ '
STX is one of the most lethal toxins known. Our new work shows that a single dose of frog saxiphilin neutralizes STX poisoning in mice.
Behold the awesome power of frogs 🐸!
🙏🎉 to my fantastic team and collaborators.

New work from our lab. Structures of K2P6.1 (TWIK2) that yield a new and suprising perspective on how lipids affect K2P channels. Great work from Abishek Mondal and Sangeeta Niranjan in my lab.
