Homeodomain leucine zipper (HD-ZIP) proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that
contain a homeodomain (HD) and a leucine zipper (LZ) domain. The highly conserved HD …

Hydrogels are the most iconic class of soft materials, and since their first report in the
literature, they have attracted the attention of uncountable researchers. Over the past two …
