AI scanned animal venom peptides and found 386 potential antibiotics. Most killed drug-resistant bacteria in tests and were ...

A new Yale study has found a promising target for treating the brain fog that can follow COVID-19 and offers new insight into a hypothesis about the origin of Alzheimer's disease.

Snake, scorpion, and spider venom are most frequently associated with poisonous bites, but with the help of artificial intelligence, they might be able to help fight antibiotic resistance, which ...

In recent years, the regulatory role of the gut microbiota in the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) has ...

Axolotls are known for their ability to regrow limbs, organs and even parts of the brain and heart. But the tailed amphibian with the scientific name Ambystoma mexicanum can do even more. Its mucous ...

Article Title Novel Leech Antimicrobial Peptides, Hirunipins: Real-Time 3D Monitoring of Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Mechanisms Using Optical Diffraction Tomography ...

To enhance bacterial uptake, PNAs were conjugated to cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), which ferry the cargo across bacterial membranes. FUS79 and the future of targeted antimicrobials ...

AMPs are small peptides with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, typically with a molecular weight under 10 kDa, and are widely distributed (Chen and Jiang, 2023). Antibiotics often achieve ...

This manuscript presents a pipeline incorporating a deep generative model and peptide property predictors for the de novo design of peptide sequences with dual antimicrobial/antiviral functions. The ...

Synopsis This study identifies new Type II proline-rich antimicrobial peptides from insects that trap ribosomes at stop codons and presents the structure of one of the most active peptides in complex ...

Due to the broad-spectrum and high-efficiency antibacterial activity, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and their functions have been studied in the field of drug discovery. Using biological experiments ...
