The increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections necessitates the
exploration of novel paradigms for anti-infective therapy. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also …

Applying antibacterial polymers and pro‐regenerative small molecules are two individual
strategies for accelerating wound healing. However, integrating those two unique …

Invasive fungal infections, including meningitis, cause a high mortality rate due to few
available antifungal drugs and frequently associated side effects and quick emergence of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit mighty antibacterial properties without inducing drug
resistance. Achieving much higher selectivity of AMPs towards bacteria and normal cells has …

Synthetic polypeptides, also known as poly (α-amino acids), have the same polyamide
