Structural basis for saxitoxin congener binding and neutralization by anuran saxiphilins
Nature Communications - Dinoflagellates and cyanobacteria produce saxitoxin (STX) congeners that block voltage-gated sodium channels. Here authors show how amphibians may sequester STX congeners...
New insights from our group into how frogs resist toxic environments published today! ๐๐ธ
Congratulations to Sandra, Samantha @samnscience.bsky.social, Zhou, and our collaborators Tod Leighfield, Filizola lab @martafilizola.bsky.social, and Du Bois lab at Stanford.

Definitely not a funnel-web by the web or legs! Those big velvety legs look like a lovely tarantula to me!

I am working on a list of practical things that folks can do to help protect California amphibians, as part of a book project. Can you help me add to this list?
