Receptor-targeting peptides have been extensively pursued for improving binding specificity
and effective accumulation of drugs at the site of interest, and have remained challenging for …

Persistent microbial infection and decreased neovascularization are common issues
associated with diabetic wound treatment. Hydrogel dressings that offer intrinsic …

Self-assembly of peptides demonstrates a great potential for designing highly ordered, finely
tailored supramolecular arrangements enriched with high specificity, improved efficacy and …

Rapid antigen detection tests are urgently needed for the early diagnosis of severe acute
respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The discovery of a binder with high …

Chronic wound healing impairment is a significant complication in diabetes. Hydrogels that
maintain wound moisture and enable sustained drug release have become prominent for …

Amyloidal proteins, which are prone to form fibrillar and ordered aggregates in vivo and in
vitro, underlie the mechanism for neurodegenerative disorders and also play essential …

We address the challenge of understanding how hydrophobic interactions are encoded by
fusion peptide (FP) sequences within coronavirus (CoV) spike proteins. Within the FPs of …

Stimulus-responsive hydrogels are significantly programmable materials that show potential
applications in the field of biomedicine and the environment. Ultrasound as a stimulus can …

The interplay between the hydrophobic interactions generated by the nonpolar region and
the proximal functional groups within nanometers of the nonpolar region offers a promising …

As an important attempt towards creating hierarchical structures more like nature, the
peptide is employed as a building block to build supramolecular architectures. An emerging …
