Background The rapid increase of drug resistance in conventional antibiotics promotes the
discovery and development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are important …

Surfactin, an antibacterial lipopeptide produced by different strains of Bacillus subtilis, is a
powerful biosurfactant. It also has multiple biological activities including antiviral, anti …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) take part in the immune system by mounting a first line of
defense against pathogens. Recurrent structural and functional aspects are observed …

Antimicrobial peptides are an abundant and diverse group of molecules that are produced
by many tissues and cell types in a variety of invertebrate, plant and animal species. Their …

Antimicrobial host defense peptides are produced by all complex organisms as well as
some microbes and have diverse and complex antimicrobial activities. Collectively these …

Bacterial resistance caused by the overuse of antibiotics and the shelter of biofilms has
evolved into a global health crisis, which drives researchers to continuously explore …

Traditional cancer therapy methods, especially those directed against specific intracellular
targets or signaling pathways, are not powerful enough to overcome tumor heterogeneity …

Biofilms are complex microbial architectures that attach to surfaces and encase
microorganisms in a matrix composed of self-produced hydrated extracellular polymeric …
