Antimicrobial Peptide Functionalized Mesoporous Hydrogels [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are seen as a promising replacement to conventional antibiotics for the prevention of skin wound infections. However, due to the short half-life of AMPs in biological environments, such as blood, their use in clinical applications has been limited.

Peptide conjugate hydrogelators [PDF]
Soft Matter, 2010 Molecular gelators are currently receiving a great deal of attention. These are small molecules which, under the appropriate conditions, assemble in solution to, in the majority of cases, give long fibrillar structures which entangle to form a three-dimensional network. This immobilises the solvent, resulting in a gel.

Peptide- and Protein-Based Hydrogels [PDF]
Chemistry of Materials, 2012 Hydrogels are polymeric networks, capable of absorbing large amounts of water and biological fluids. They are insoluble due to the presence of chemical or physical cross-links between the constituents. Hydrogels are promising materials for use as injectable biomaterials due to their high water content, tunable viscoelasticity, and biocompatibility ...
