Biomimetic science has attracted great interest in the fields of chemistry, biology, materials
science, and energy. Biomimetic mineralization is the process of synthesizing inorganic …

Natural structural materials are built at ambient temperature from a fairly limited selection of
components. They usually comprise hard and soft phases arranged in complex hierarchical …

The communication of cells with their surroundings is mostly encoded in the epitopes of
structural and signalling proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These peptide …

Bone is a natural composite of collagen protein and the mineral hydroxyapatite. The
structure of bone is known to be important to its load-bearing characteristics, but relatively …

Bone tissue engineering is becoming an ideal strategy to replace autologous bone grafts for
surgical bone repair, but the multihierarchical complexity of natural bone is still difficult to …

The significant role of biofilms in pathogenicity has spurred research into preventing their
formation and promoting their disruption, resulting in overlooked opportunities to develop …

Assembly of two-dimensional (2D) molecular arrays on surfaces produces a wide range of
architectural motifs exhibiting unique properties, but little attention has been given to the …

Bacteriophages (phages) are nanostructured viruses with highly selective antibacterial
properties that have gained attention beyond eliminating bacteria. Specifically, M13 phages …

The surface of a cell represents a collection of macromolecules, which provides the cell with
a unique cellular landscape specific to the type and state of the cell. Ligands that …

Over the past decade, solid-binding peptides (SBPs) have been used increasingly as
molecular building blocks in nanobiotechnology. These peptides show selectivity and bind …
