In this issue, Ning Yan et al. review the photorefinery of biomass and plastics to renewable chemicals with heterogeneous catalysts. The Minireview deals with surface chemistry in two-dimensional MXenes, their mixed and tunable uniform terminations (Chenkun Zhou et al.).

In the original research section, Yao Sun et al. describe a NIR-light-activated and lyosomal-targeted Pt(II) metallacycle for highly potent evoking of immunogenic cell death that potentiates cancer immunotherapy of deep-seated tumors. Jacek Mlynarski et al. used machine learning to guide catalyst choices for magnesium-catalyzed asymmetric reactions. Géraldine Masson et al. succeeded in the photocatalytic asymmetric acyl radical Truce–Smiles rearrangement for the synthesis of enantioenriched α-aryl amides. Jicheng Yu et al. engineered platelet–drug conjugates via a one-step fusion approach for metastatic and postoperative cancer treatment (see picture).
