Achieving strong adhesion between the interfaces of similar and dissimilar materials is
highly desirable in various fields. However, the adhesion of common adhesives is …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short peptidic molecules produced by most living
creatures. They help unicellular organisms to successfully compete for nutrients with other …

Electrostatic interaction is strong but usually diminishes in high ionic-strength environments.
Biosystems can use this interaction through adjacent cationic–aromatic amino acids …

Amphibian skin is directly exposed to different environments. Amphibians interact with
environmental factors including microorganisms, parasites, predators, and physical factors …

More than a thousand antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been reported in the last decades
arising from the skin secretion of amphibian species. Generally, each frog species can …

Skin secretions of hylid frogs show amazing levels of interspecific and intraspecific diversity
and are comprised of a cocktail of genetically-related, but markedly diverse antimicrobial …

Peripheral nerve injury is a serious traumatic condition, and primary repair or tension-free
anastomosis remains an unresolved challenge in nerve restoration. Currently, surgical …

A growing number of cationic antimicrobial peptides have been isolated from the skin of
hylid frogs belonging to the Phyllomedusinae subfamily. The amino acid sequences of these …

The year 2004 represents a milestone for the biosensor research community: in this year,
over 1000 articles were published describing experiments performed using commercially …

We developed a multidimensional vibrational circular dichroism system with a positional
coordinate, making it possible to move in both x-and y-directions using an automatic stage …
