Sulfur has been important in dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) since the beginning of the
field. Mainly as part of disulfides and thioesters, dynamic sulfur‐based bonds (DSBs) have a …

The field of prebiotic chemistry has been dedicated over decades to finding abiotic routes
towards the molecular components of life. There is nowadays a handful of prebiotically …

Senolytics, which eliminate senescent cells from tissues, represent an emerging therapeutic
strategy for various age-related diseases. Most senolytics target antiapoptotic proteins …

Living organisms are replete with rhythmic and oscillatory behavior at all levels, to the extent
that oscillations have been termed as a defining attribute of life. Recent studies of synthetic …

Self-replicating molecules provide a simple approach for investigating fundamental
processes in scenarios of the emergence of life. Although homochirality is an important …

One of life's most striking characteristics is its mental dimension, one whose very existence
within a material system has long been a deep scientific mystery. Given the current scientific …

Autocatalysis has been proposed to play critical roles during abiogenesis. These proposals
are at odds with a limited number of known examples of abiotic (and, in particular, inorganic) …

Molecular differentiation by supramolecular sensors is typically achieved through sensor
arrays, relying on the pattern recognition responses of large panels of isolated sensing …

Copying information is vital for life's propagation. Current life forms maintain a low error rate
in replication, using complex machinery to prevent and correct errors. However, primitive life …

The concept of chemically evolvable replicators is central to abiogenesis. Chemical
evolvability requires three essential components: energy-harvesting mechanisms for …
