We stand on the precipice of a post-antibiotic era, yet a century-old solution lies dormant. The Transatlantic Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance (TATFAR) is mobilising to dismantle the regulatory and scientific barriers caging bacteriophage therapy, aiming to turn viral predators into our most potent defenders.

Chemists are harnessing visible light to power a process called photoredox catalysis. This technique efficiently creates highly reactive chemical building blocks, known as α-amino radicals, which are essential for constructing the complex, nitrogen-containing molecules vital for medicine and biology.

Researchers are exploring a new frontier in organic synthesis: strained metal carbenes, which combine high-energy strained ring systems with metal carbenes. These unique structures exhibit distinct reactivity and selectivity compared to their non-strained counterparts. This emerging field holds significant promise for advancing synthetic and medicinal chemistry by enabling novel transformations.
