Published: November 2023

Genetics-based approaches can enable drug target identification in human cells. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Nguyen et al. use inducible degradation of a mismatch repair protein to tune the mutation rate in HCT116 cells, thereby increasing sensitivity and selectivity in identifying resistance-conferring mutations for several cytotoxic small molecules.

Background: Chordoma, characterized as a slow growing yet locally invasive and destructive bone tumor mainly emerging in the sacrum and clivus, presents a unique challenge due to its rarity, hampering the development of effective treatment strategies. Comprehensive understanding of tumor biology is crucial to suggest novel treatment modalities. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), a family of chemically reactive and unstable oxygen derivatives, are controlled by an intracellular antioxidant system to maintain homeostasis.

Deep learning model targeting cancer surrounding tissues for accurate cancer diagnosis based on histopathological images.

J Transl Med

Department of General Surgery (Colorectal Surgery), The Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China.

Accurate and fast histological diagnosis of cancers is crucial for successful treatment. The deep learning-based approaches have assisted pathologists in efficient cancer diagnosis. The remodeled microenvironment and field cancerization may enable the cancer-specific features in the image of non-cancer regions surrounding cancer, which may provide additional information not available in the cancer region to improve cancer diagnosis.

Dual-Asymmetric Solid Additive Enables Eco-friendly All-Polymer Solar Cells with Over 19% Efficiency and Excellent Stability.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Guangzhou University, Center for Advanced Analytical Science, c/o School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, 230 Wai Huan Xi Road, Guangzhou Higher Education Mega Center, Guangzhou 510006 P, 510006, Guangzhou, CHINA.

The optimization of morphology in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) often relies on the use of solvent additives. However, their tendency to remain trapped in the device due to high boiling points leads to performance degradation over time. In this study, we introduce a novel approach involving the design and synthesis of one dual-asymmetric solid additive featuring mono-brominated-asymmetric dithienothiophene (SL-1).

Metal-free covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have emerged as promising catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) because of their unique structural properties and notable stability. To enhance both catalytic activity and selectivity, a variety of linkers and linkages have been investigated in efforts to precisely engineer COFs. However, the impact of vertex structures within COFs on ORR catalysis remains largely underexplored.

Atomically Fine-Tuning Organic-Inorganic Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes for Hydrogen Production.

ACS Nano

January 2025

Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, Buffalo, New York 14260, United States.

Polymeric membranes with great processability are attractive for the H/CO separation required for hydrogen production from renewable biomass with carbon capture for utilization and sequestration. However, it remains elusive to engineer polymer architectures to obtain desired sub-3.3 Å ultramicropores to efficiently sieve H from CO.
