of biological barriers. Thus, compounds that efficiently cross cell membranes are the key to …

Peptides that comprise the functional subunits of proteins have been conjugated to versatile
materials (biomolecules, polymers, surfaces and nanoparticles) in an effort to modulate cell …

Design of endogenous stimuli-responsive amino acids allows for precisely modulating
proteins or peptides under a biological microenvironment and thereby regulating their …

Peptides and peptide-conjugates, comprising natural and synthetic building blocks, are an
increasingly popular class of biomaterials. Self-assembled nanostructures based on …

Nature, in its wonders, presents and assembles the most intricate and delicate protein
structures and this remarkable phenomenon occurs in all kingdom and phyla of life. Of these …

Biomaterials exhibiting precise ratios of different bioactive protein components are critical for
applications ranging from vaccines to regenerative medicine, but their design is often …
