Lipopeptides are amphiphilic peptides in which an aliphatic chain is attached to either the C
or N terminus of peptides. Their self-assembly—into micelles, vesicles, nanotubes, fibres or …

Cationic and ionizable cationic lipids are broadly applied as auxiliary agents, but their use is
associated with adverse effects. If these excipients are rapidly degraded to endogenously …

The growing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has brought with it a continual
increase in the numbers of deaths from multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. Since the …

Polyamide (PA) thin-film composite (TFC) membranes are extensively used in water
purification but suffer from chronic biofouling, which has spurred extensive research on the …

Lipopeptides are surface active, natural products of bacteria, fungi and green-blue algae
origin, having diverse structures and functionalities. In analogy, a number of chemical …

An increasing number of multidrug-resistant pathogens is a serious problem of modern
medicine and new antibiotics are highly demanded. In this study, different n-alkyl acids (C2 …

The search for efficient antimicrobial therapies that can alleviate suffering caused by
infections from resistant bacteria is more urgent than ever before. Infections caused by multi …

Facing the continuously urgent demands for novel antimicrobial agents since the growing
emergence of bacterial resistance, a series of new ultra-short lipopeptides, composed of …

Multi-drug-resistant bacteria are becoming more prevalent, and treating these bacteria is
becoming a global concern. One alternative approach to combat bacterial resistance is to …

The widespread and escalating emergence of multidrug resistance is now recognized as
one of the most severe global threats to human health. To address the urgent issue of drug …
