A noncanonical path to mechanism of action
Abstract
Improved methods for discovering small-molecule mechanisms of action are needed. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Zhang et al. make clever use of the zebrafish to study the mechanism of the angiogenesis inhibitor fumagillin and reveal that it targets the noncanonical Wnt pathway.
