In recent years, because of increased resistance to conventional antimicrobials, many
researchers have started to study the synthesis of new antibiotics to control the disease …

Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong
potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and …

The mammalian gut secretes a family of multifunctional peptides that affect appetite,
intestinal secretions, and motility whereas others regulate the microbiota. We have found …

The high rates of morbidity and mortality caused by fungal infections are associated with the
current limited antifungal arsenal and the high toxicity of the compounds. Additionally …

Plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have evolved differently from AMPs from other life
forms. They are generally rich in cysteine residues which form multiple disulfides. In turn, the …

The increasing onset of multidrug-resistant bacteria has propelled microbiology research
towards antimicrobial peptides as new possible antibiotics from natural sources …

Agriculture-related manufactured nano-objects (MNOs) can revolutionize the crop
production and help to achieve sustainable development goals. MNOs with diverse physico …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural antibiotics produced by various organisms such
as mammals, arthropods, plants, and bacteria. In addition to antimicrobial activity, AMPs can …

Peptides fulfill a plethora of functions in plant growth, development, and stress responses.
They act as key components of cell-to-cell communication, interfere with signaling and …

The insect immune response demonstrates many similarities to the innate immune response
of mammals and a wide range of insects is now employed to assess the virulence of …
