multidrug resistant microbes and the slowdown in the development of new classes of …

The discovery of antibiotics has saved millions of lives, but the emergence of antibiotic‐
resistant bacteria has become another problem in modern medicine. To avoid or reduce the …

The communication of cells with their surroundings is mostly encoded in the epitopes of
structural and signalling proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These peptide …

Peptide‐based hydrogel biomaterials have emerged as an excellent strategy for immune
system modulation. Peptide‐based hydrogels are supramolecular materials that self …

A core challenge in biomaterials, with both fundamental significance and technological
relevance, concerns the rational design of bioactive microenvironments. Designed properly …

Atomic force microscopy is an increasingly attractive tool to study how peptides disrupt
membranes. Often performed on reconstituted lipid bilayers, it provides access to time and …

The use of hydrogels has garnered significant interest as biomaterial and drug delivery
platforms for anti-infective applications. For decades antimicrobial peptides have been …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) impacts over 3.17 million Americans. Management of
hemorrhage and coagulation caused by vascular disruption after TBI is critical for the …

Angiogenesis is critical for tissue healing and regeneration. Promoting angiogenesis in
materials implanted within dental pulp after pulpectomy is a major clinical challenge in …

At present, much attention is paid to the use of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of natural and
