In ophthalmology, living biomaterials such as living contact lenses appear promising for sustained drug delivery or biosensing. The cytocompatibility of Cg‐PVA hydrogels, developed as a model living contact lens, is investigated with the ocular surface, showing their potential translation to the clinic.

Peptomer Linkers Enable Kinetic Control over Co‐Delivery of Multiple Chemotherapeutics
A key challenge in combinatorial chemotherapeutic drug delivery is independent control over release kinetics, especially with drugs of similar size and structure. Here, peptoid substitutions to proteolytically degradable peptides enabled the design of fast and slow‐releasing drug linkers.

C-Terminal Extended Hexapeptides as Potent Inhibitors of the NS2B-NS3 Protease of the ZIKA Virus
The Zika virus (ZIKV) protease is an attractive drug target for the design of novel inhibitors to control the ZIKV infection. As the protease substrate-binding site contains acidic residues, inhibitors with basic residues can be beneficial for the ...

It has been demonstrated that, in the bone extracellular matrix (ECM), integrins and growth factor receptors (GFRs) engage in synergistic signaling to guide bone healing and regeneration. This review provides a comprehensive overview of current strategies using ECM‐derived peptides to recreate the cellular microenvironment and harness synergistic ...
