The majority of cellular physiological processes depend on natural ion channels, which are
pore-forming membrane-embedded proteins that let ions flow across the cell membranes …

Fluctuations in the intracellular chloride ion concentration, mediated by synthetic ion
transporters, have been known to induce cytotoxicity in cells by disrupting ionic …

Important biological processes, such as signaling and transport, are regulated by dynamic
binding events. The development of artificial supramolecular systems in which binding …

Nature has ingeniously developed specialized water transporters that effectively reject ions,
including protons, while transporting water across membranes. These natural water …

While natural channels respond to external stimuli to regulate ion concentration across cell
membranes, creating a synthetic version remains challenging. Here, we present a photo …

Artificial channels capable of facilitating the transport of Cl− ions across cell membranes
while being nontoxic to the cells are rare. Such synthetic ion channels can mimic the …

Despite the significant interest in designing artificial ion channels, there is limited availability
of channel‐forming molecules to tackle complex issues, especially in biological systems …
