💡 Our scientists discovered a new infection strategy in #Candida albicans: human #albumin reprograms its metabolism, turning harmless strains pathogenic – without the need of hyphae or toxins.

After a long journey, finally, my good friend Sai and coworkers published this amazing work in #NatCommun. 🎉
They can use native functional groups such as alcohols and transform them to the most challenging Z-olefins.
Without the use of a transition metal catalyst, and even working for #DNA 🧬 functionalization!

Alcohols are one of the most abundant functional groups in commercially available materials and biologically active compounds. Here, the authors report a metal-free photocatalytic method for the deoxygenative Z-selective olefination of aliphatic alcohols.
