Many short cationic peptides are amphiphilic and are often termed antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs) as they can kill various microorganisms. These AMPs have largely been discovered …

Understanding interactions between nanoparticles (NPs) with biological matter, particularly
cells, is becoming increasingly important due to their growing application in medicine and …

Due to rapidly increasing resistance development against conventional antibiotics, finding
novel approaches for the treatment of infections has emerged as a key health issue …

The evolution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is an ongoing and troubling development that
has increased the number of diseases and infections that risk going untreated. There is an …

Amyloid peptides (AMYs) and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered as the two
distinct families of peptides, characterized by their unique sequences, structures, biological …

Membrane interactions are critical for the successful use of mesoporous silica nanoparticles
as delivery systems for antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). In order to elucidate these, we here …

Peptides are naturally produced by all organisms and exhibit a wide range of physiological,
immunomodulatory, and wound healing functions. Furthermore, they can provide with …

Tumor-oriented nanocarrier drug delivery approaches with pH-sensitivity have been
drawing considerable attentions over the years. Here we described a liposomal delivery …

We have developed a new concept for reversible peptide stapling that involves
macrocyclization between two amino groups and decyclization promoted via dual 1, 4 …

Microbial contamination and biofilm formation of medical devices is a major issue
associated with medical complications and increased costs. Consequently, there is a …
