INTRODUCTION: The mitochondrial-derived peptides (MDPs) are a novel group of natural occurring peptides that have important signaling functions and biological activity. Both humanin and small-humanin-like peptide 2 (SHLP2) have been reported to act as insulin sensitizers and modu...
The rise in global antibiotic resistance highlights the urgent need for effective antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) offer a potential solution to combat bacterial resistance. However, key challenges remain in addressing the limitations of current peptide drugs and biomaterials, ...
Foodborne pathogenic bacterial infections pose significant challenges to global food safety and public health, while the issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has worsened in recent years, creating an urgent need for safe, natural alternatives to combat foodborne pathogens and associated intest...
Cyclic peptides are reported to have antibacterial, antifungal and other bioactivities. Orbitides are a class of cyclic peptide that are small, head-to-tail cyclized, composed of proteinogenic amino acids, and lack disulfide bonds; they are also known in several genera of the plant family Rutacea...
