Unleashed inside cells : The signaling molecule PI(3,4,5)P 3 is prepared in a form that allows its cellular uptake and subsequent activation by light (see picture). The rapid eight‐step synthetic sequence yields a stable derivative of the signaling molecule with high biological activity after deprotection (“uncaging”) with a laser flash, in live cells.
