Viral infections are a serious health challenge, and the COVID-19 pandemic has increased
the demand for antiviral measures and treatments for clean surfaces, especially in public …

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

Antimicrobial peptides are a type of small-molecule peptide that widely exist in nature and
are components of the innate immunity of almost all living things. They play an important role …

Antibiotic resistance constitutes a global threat and could lead to a future pandemic. One
strategy is to develop a new generation of antimicrobials. Naturally occurring antimicrobial …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are produced by neutrophils, monocytes, and macrophages,
as well as epithelial cells, and are an essential component of innate immunity system …

This study investigated the mechanism of epinecidin-1 against Botrytis cinerea, in vitro, and
its effectiveness at inhibiting gray mold on postharvest peach fruit. We found that in vitro …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ubiquitously present small peptides, which play a critical
function in the innate immune system. The defensin class of AMPs represented an …

The threats of drug resistance and new emerging pathogens have led to an urgent need to
develop alternative treatment therapies. Recently, considerable research efforts have …

Background COVID-19-associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is
associated with significant morbidity and high levels of mortality. This paper describes the …

Viral epidemics are occurring frequently, and the COVID-19 viral pandemic has resulted in
