Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), critical components of the innate immune system, are widely
distributed throughout the animal and plant kingdoms. They can protect against a broad …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), as a key component of the immune defense systems of
organisms, are a promising solution to the serious threat of drug-resistant bacteria to public …

Passage of a shock wave across living organisms may produce bubbles in the blood
vessels and capillaries. It was suggested that collapse of these bubbles imposed by an …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are believed to be a prominent alternative to the common
antibiotics. However, despite decades of research, there are still no good clinical examples …

Carbon nanomaterials such as fullerenes (C 60) and graphene oxide (GO) are considered
as promising candidates for diverse applications in biotechnology and biomedicine …

The antimicrobial peptide, melittin, is a potential next-generation antibiotic because melittin
can spontaneously form pores in bacterial cell membranes and cause cytoplasm leakage …

Among the potential novel therapeutics to treat bacterial infections, antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs) are a very promising substitute due to their broad-spectrum activity and rapid …

Using self-consistent field theory (SCFT), we develop an accurate, local expression for the
stress profiles in membranes and soft matter interfaces, in general. The bond stresses are …

Given the increasing trend in bacterial antibiotic resistance, research on antimicrobial
peptides and their mechanisms of action has become of huge relevance in the last years …

Pore-forming peptides have promising potentials for biomedical uses due to their ability to
permeabilize cell membranes. However, to molecularly engineer them for practical …
