DNA encodes the genetic information; recently, it has also become a key player in material
science. Given the specific Watson–Crick base‐pairing interactions between only four types …

The use of synthetic ion transporters for alteration of the concentration of ions across cell
membranes has drawn attention from scientists over the last two decades. This ion transport …

Squaramides represent a class of vinylogous amides that are derived from the squarate
oxocarbon dianion. While they have been known since the 1950s, squaramides have only …

Protein-based nanostructures have reformed nanoscience and nanotechnology on account
of their smaller sizes and greater surface areas, which instigate their interactions with other …

Highlights•Despite of vaccines, therapeutics are critically important to keep check on
evolving virulence from mutations.•Oseltamivir remains a single effective oral drug against …

Anticancer drug resistance implicates multifunctional mechanisms, and hypoxia is one of the
key factors in therapeutic resistance. Hypoxia-specific therapy is considered an extremely …

SNM1A is a zinc-dependent nuclease involved in the removal of interstrand crosslink
lesions from DNA. Inhibition of interstrand crosslink repair enzymes such as SNM1A is a …

Amino‐acid‐derived polyzwitterions and polybetaines (PBs) are two promising alternatives
to non‐ionic polymers, for example, to increase tumor permeability. In this study, amino‐acid …

Recently, synthetic anion transporters have gained considerable attention because of their
ability to disrupt cellular anion homeostasis and promote cell death. Herein, we report the …

A series of chemically‐modified oligonucleotides for targeting the DNA repair nuclease
SNM1A have been designed and synthesised. Each oligonucleotide contains a modified …
