Titelbild: Size and Polarizability of Boron Cluster Carriers Modulate Chaotropic Membrane Transport (Angew. Chem. 29/2024)

Superchaotropic boron clusters have been systematically studied to understand the principles modulating their ability to transport hydrophilic cargos across lipid membranes and inside cells. In their Research Article (e202404286), Irene Lostalé-Seijo, Werner M. Nau, Javier Montenegro et al. showed that size and polarizability are more important than the chemical composition of the clusters, establishing the bases for the prediction of their carrier potential and toxicity.
