Ultrashort antibacterial and antifungal lipopeptides [PDF]
Host-defense cationic antimicrobial peptides (≈12–50 aa long) play an essential protective role in the innate immune system of all organisms. Lipopeptides, however, are produced only in bacteria and fungi during cultivation, and they are composed of specific lipophilic moieties attached to anionic peptides (six to seven amino acids)

Genotoxicity of cationic lipopeptide nanoparticles
The genotoxicity of cationic lipopeptide nanoparticles (cLPNPs) was evaluated in vivo and in vitro comet assay and the in vivo chromosome aberrations test. In vitro comet assay, human blood cells were exposed to cLPNPs at the concentration of 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 100 μg/mL.

The peptide sequence of diacyl lipopeptides determines dendritic cell TLR2-mediated NK activation. [PDF]
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocyte effectors that are activated to control certain microbial infections and tumors. Many NK-activating and regulating receptors are involved in regulating NK cell function.

Chemical diversity and cellular effects of antifungal cyclic lipopeptides from cyanobacteria.
Cyanobacteria produce a variety of chemically diverse cyclic lipopeptides with potent antifungal activities. These cyclic lipopeptides have an ampiphatic structure comprised of a polar peptide cycle and hydrophobic fatty acid side chain.
