By acting as effective biomimetics of the lipid bilayers, membrane-intercalating conjugated
oligoelectrolytes (MICOEs) can spontaneously insert themselves into both synthetic lipid …

Antibiotic resistance is a serious threat to public health. Here, we propose a multi-armed
chemical scaffold (MACS) for antibiotic screening, which refers to multi-armed molecules …

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a critical threat to public health and
disproportionately affects the health and well-being of persons in low-income and middle …

Comprehensive Summary Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major challenges in
pathogenic infections, which endangers human health and brings devastating public health …

Infections caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria have increased more than 50% in the
past two decades and more than doubled in the elderly population. Mycobacterium …

New antibiotics are needed to battle growing antibiotic resistance, but the development
process from hit, to lead, and ultimately to a useful drug takes decades. Although progress in …

In this work, we utilized an inexpensive and naturally abundant polymer lignin and
functionalized it with quaternary ammonium groups to yield a cationic antimicrobial, QAL. As …

Conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) comprise a class of fluorescent reporters with tunable
optical properties and lipid bilayer affinity. These molecules have proven effective in a range …

Fabricating antibacterial hydrogels with antimicrobial drugs and synthetic biocompatible
biomimetic hydrogels is a promising strategy for practical medical applications. Here, we …

Conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) comprise a class of cell‐membrane intercalating
molecules that serve as effective optical reporters. However, little is known about the …
