This paper develops a biosensor using host-pathogen interaction peptides to rapidly detect Listeria monocytogenes with high selectivity and sensitivity.

This study shows that cross-resistance, not mode of action, determines the effectiveness of antimicrobial peptide combinations in delaying resistance evolution.

This paper evaluates the antifungal potential of random peptide mixtures (RPMs), demonstrating broad-spectrum activity against major fungal pathogens, including multidrug-resistant Candida auris, and highlighting their therapeutic efficacy and reduced resistance development.

This study investigates psoriasin as a natural food preservative, showing its antimicrobial activity and potential for cost-effective production.

This study computationally designs and validates peptides that inhibit key inflammatory cytokines in IBD, showing reduced cytokine release in vitro.

This study shows that random antimicrobial peptide mixtures reduce resistance evolution in Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared to single peptides, preventing cross-resistance and maintaining drug sensitivity.

This study evaluates a 16-residue peptide from Medicago truncatula defensin for its ability to penetrate mammalian cells and deliver cargo, showing efficient uptake and minimal cytotoxicity.
