In our new paper in Chem. Sci., we show that the replacement of one oxygen by one sulfur atom in phospholipids affords phosphorothioate liposomes that penetrate cells by thiol-mediated uptake in intact form and with contributions neither from fusion nor from endocytosis.

Congratulations for an intriguing PhD defence and very best wishes to Dr. Michael Cognet for a great future.

A big thank you to the members of the jury, Kurt Gothelf, Nicolas Winssinger and Clement Mazet.

Our new paper in Angew. Chem. introduces an enabling method to make catalysis with externally applied electric fields compatible with organic synthesis.

For a great start into the new academic year, we climbed up to the largest glacier in the Alps, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This invited commentary in Angew. Chem. highlights the importance of translational supramolecular chemistry, and the power of the big yellow sulfur atom in this context, despite its diabolic reputation.

Our new paper in Helv. Chim. Acta, the Journal of the Swiss Chemical Society, founded 1917, elaborates on unorthodox reversible Michael addition for cellular uptake; with the groups of @tbpoulsen.bsky.social‬ and @oliverthornseshold.bsky.social‬.

552 flippers and a few crabs, what a cover, please enjoy

Thank you, JACS Au: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Thank you so much for reading: Our new paper on photocatalytic microenvironment proteomics of thiol-mediated uptake still hangs on in the top 20 of JACS Au. It aims to give a better understanding of a process that might be more important than we all expected.

Many thanks for your interest: The essence are sigma-hole interactions, chalcogen bonds, which cause the twisting and produce a push-pull system upon planarization.

In our new paper in JACS Au, with the Sagara group from the Institute of Science Tokyo, we introduce flippers than respond to stretching rather than compression and applicability to the materials rather than the life sciences (GOA).

Thank you very much!

Photocatalytic microenvironment proteomics identifies proteins in thiol-mediated uptake by covalent labeling without disturbing exchange network dynamics. We hope our new paper will help the community to better understand, explore and use this enigmatic process.

Violating the EDB rules, access to intrinsically disfavored products increases with increasing electric fields applied to electromicrofluidic reactors with carbon nanotubes (besides conversion going from 0 to 100%).

Thank you very much for highlighting our paper

Congratulations to Filipe Coelho for a great PhD defense, on uptake exchange partners, integrins, PDIs, cell motility, selenenylsulfides, and more. Many thanks for all and very best wishes for a bright future.

Special thanks also to jury members, specially C. Hackenberger, who came from far.

The intro:

Up springs the spout and, falling, fills
To brim the marble basin’s round,
Which, under veiling, over spills
Into a second basin’s ground;
The second one, too rich now, runs
Into the third its falling waves,
And each one takes and gives at once
And streams and stays.
