Bee venom (BV) is usually associated with pain since, when humans are stung by bees,
local inflammation and even an allergic reaction can be produced. BV has been traditionally …

The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is an ongoing and troubling development that
has increased the number of diseases and infections that risk going untreated. There is an …

Simple Summary Bee products consist of many substances that have long been known for
their medicinal and health-beneficial properties. Venom is certainly the one that has …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as a key component of the immune defense systems of
organisms, are a promising solution to the serious threat of drug-resistant bacteria to public …

We review the use of molecular dynamics (MD) simulation as a drug design tool in the
context of the role that the lipid membrane can play in drug action, ie, the interaction …

In this work, we aim to address several strategies to improve transdermal drug delivery, such
as iontophoresis, sonophoresis, electroporation and micron. We also propose a review of …

An infecting and propagating parasite relies on its innate defense system to evade the host's
immune response and to survive challenges from commensal bacteria. More so for the …

The permeabilization of liposomes by melittin, an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), has been
studied by an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging strategy. The methodology …

The cytotoxic effects of melittin, a bee-venom peptide, have been widely studied towards
cancer cells. Typically, these studies have examined the effect of melittin over extended-time …

We conducted a series of coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CG-MD) simulations to
investigate the complicated actions of melittin, which is an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) …
