The NTR/prodrug revolution: Tools for controlling cell loss and regeneration.
Kim GJ; Parsons M
The NTR/prodrug system helps scientists control when and where cells are removed in living organisms, like zebrafish, to study diseases such as Parkinson's. This system uses special enzymes to turn harmless drugs into ones that can kill cells, letting researchers learn about how diseases develop and find new treatments. Improvements in the system have made it much more effective and useful for studying diseases over a long time.
