Abstract:Bradykinin (BK) is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in blood pressure control, regulates inflammation in the human body, and has recently been implicated in the pathophysiology of...
“…In the last few decades, short peptide-based supramolecular hydrogels 1–14 have received significant attention as biomaterials. 1,15–18 Among all the small molecules, amino acid containing peptide gelators play a vital role in the biomaterials field due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, low fabrication cost, and control over functionality.…”
The emergence of peptide-based functional biomaterials is on trend. To fulfil this purpose, a series of amphiphilic peptides such as H2N-X-Met-Phe-C12H25 where, X= L-Lysine (CP1), X = L-Histidine (CP2), and...

Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have emerged as promising materials for the fabrication of synthetic nanovectors endowed with potential for impacting the future landscape of gene therapy. A group of well-studied...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
