Tandem-controlled lysosomal assembly of nanofibres induces pyroptosis for cancer immunotherapy
Pyroptosis has emerged as a promising approach for cancer immunotherapy. However, current pyroptosis inducers lack specificity for cancer cells and…
Origins of elasticity in molecular materials
Elasticity is ubiquitous and produces a spontaneously reversible response to applied stress1. Despite the utility and importance of this…
Hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks for photocatalytic synthesis of hydrogen peroxide
Photocatalysis provides a sustainable and environment-friendly strategy to produce H2O2, yet the catalytic efficiency of H
Redox-active inverse crowns for small molecule activation
Cyclic crown ethers bind metal cations to form host–guest complexes. Lesser-known inverse crowns are rings of metal cations that encapsulate anio…
Amphoteric chalcogen-bonding and halogen-bonding rotaxanes for anion or cation recognition
The ever-increasing demand in the development of host molecules for the recognition of charged species is stimulated by their fundamental roles in …
A glycan foldamer that uses carbohydrate–aromatic interactions to perform catalysis
In nature, the ability to catalyse reactions is primarily associated with proteins and ribozymes. Inspired by these systems, peptide-based catalyst…
