Ubiquitination in cancer: mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities
Abstract Ubiquitination, a key post‐translational modification, plays an essential role in tumor biology by regulating fundamental cellular processes, such as metabolism and cell death. Additionally, it interacts with other post‐translational modifications, which are closely linked to tumorigenesis, tumor progression, the tumor microenvironment, and ...

Phosphazene Base Mediated (sp3)C–H Functionalization with CO2 and CS2
The activation of weakly acidic (sp³)C–H bonds in substrates such as fluoroform (HCF3), perfluoroethane (HC2F5), and acetonitrile (H3CCN) remains a fundamental challenge in synthetic chemistry. We report that the phosphazene base {(Et2N)3P=N}3P=NtBu (EtP4) enables the selective deprotonation of these molecules when combined with electrophilic small ...
