  • The backbone stereoregularity that dictates a broad range of polymer properties cannot be readily controlled in radical polymerizations. Now, bimetallic catalysts containing covalently bridged rare earth and cobalt complexes enable stereocontrolled living radical polymerization of acrylamides tethered with diverse polar and ionic pendant groups.

  • Generally cubosomes are formed by the self-assembly of surfactants such as lipids and are used as adsorbents or in host-guest applications. Here the authors have shown that an amphiphilic block copolymer can form nanoscale cuboidal particles with a bicontinuous cubic phase.

  • High homocysteine plasma levels are associated with cardiovascular diseases. Here, Li and colleagues find that homocysteine aggravates vascular injury by direct binding to the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R), identifying AT1R inhibition as a potential strategy to counteract the deleterious vascular effects of hyperhomocysteinemia.

  • Gels formed by metal–ligand coordination typically consist of single metal ions linked together by polymer chains. Now, metal–organic cages have been used as junctions instead. A gel was prepared that features a large number of polymer chains at each junction, including loops that further serve to functionalize the material.

  • Macromolecules with cyclic topologies exhibit unique structural properties, but synthesizing macrocyclic polymers—especially multicyclic ones—remains challenging. Our group has developed an efficient method to access multicyclic polymers without using cyclic precursors. This review highlights recent progress in the precise synthesis of multicyclic architectures, including cage-shaped, spiro-multicyclic, and graft polymers with cyclic or cage-like side chains, via intramolecular ring-opening metathesis oligomerization or cyclopolymerization of norbornenyl-functionalized macromonomers using Grubbs third-generation catalysts. Their fundamental properties and potential applications are also briefly summarized.
