DESCRIPTION:Gravitational-wave observations have revealed the population o
 f stellar remnants from a new angle. Yet their stellar progenitors remain 
 uncertain\, in particular in the case of black holes. At least a fraction 
 of these stars is believed to form in isolated binary systems. In this tal
 k\, I will discuss how binary mass transfer affects the late evolution and
  final fate of massive stars. The focus will be on stars that transfer the
 ir outer layers to a companion star and become binary-stripped. Binary-str
 ipped stars develop systematically different core structures compared to s
 ingle stars. I will discuss consequences for supernovae\, black hole forma
 tion\, and gravitational-wave observations.
