Increasing antimicrobial resistance rates have revitalized bacteriophage (phage) research,
the natural predators of bacteria discovered over 100 years ago. In order to use phages …

Proteins that self-assemble into polyhedral shell-like structures are useful molecular
containers both in nature and in the laboratory. Here we review efforts to repurpose diverse …

Natural living materials serving as biotherapeutics exhibit great potential for treating various
diseases owing to their immunoactivity, tissue targeting, and other biological activities. In this …

Engineered by nature, biological entities are exceptional building blocks for biomaterials.
These entities can impart enhanced functionalities on the final material that are otherwise …

Chitin can self-assemble into a liquid crystal phase with supramolecular chirality and
Bouligand structure, which is widely found in the exoskeletons of arthropods. However …

Current tissue engineering techniques frequently rely on hydrogels to support cell growth, as
these materials strongly mimic the extracellular matrix. However, hydrogels often need ad …

Nanofilamentous bacteriophages (bacterial viruses) are biofunctional, self-propagating, and
monodisperse natural building blocks for virus-built materials. Minifying phage-built …

Abstract The World Health Organization has designated Staphylococcus aureus as a global
health concern. This designation stems from the emergence of multiple drug‐resistant …

Inefficient use and loss of exogenously implanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are
major concerns in MSCs-based bone tissue engineering. It is a promising approach to …

Viral nanoparticles (VNPs) have emerged as crucial tools in the field of biomedicine.
Leveraging their biological and physicochemical properties, VNPs exhibit significant …
