Inflammation is the response of the immune system to harmful stimuli such as tissue injury,
infection or toxic chemicals, which has the aim of eliminating irritants or pathogenic …

Oceanic environments are one of the largest sources of bioactive molecules, due to the high
degree of biodiversity and the innumerable ecological relationships established between …

Covering: 2015 to 2022 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is responsible for several
community and hospital-acquired infections with life-threatening complications such as …

Peptides modulate many processes of human physiology targeting ion channels, protein
receptors, or enzymes. They represent valuable starting points for the development of new …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global concern, and as soon as new antibiotics are
introduced, resistance to those agents emerges. Therefore, there is an increased appetite for …

Cationic and amphiphilic peptides can be used as homing devices to accumulate
conjugated antibiotics to bacteria-enriched sites and promote efficient microbial killing …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising cationic and amphipathic molecules to fight
antibiotic resistance. To search for novel AMPs, we applied a computational strategy to …

Tryptophyllins constitute a heterogeneous group of peptides that are one of the first classes
of peptides identified from amphibian's skin secretions. Here, we report the structural …

Background Here we describe a new class of cryptides (peptides encrypted within a larger
protein) with antimicrobial properties, named schistocins, derived from SmKI-1, a key protein …

The existence of encrypted fragments with antimicrobial activity in human proteins has been
thoroughly demonstrated in the literature. Recently, algorithms for the large‐scale …
