Abstract: Drug-loaded pH-responsive nanoparticles are potential drug carriers in nanotherapeutics delivery because they can remain stable in normal tissues but can disassemble and release drug molecules in tumors. In this study, the mechanisms of self-assembly and… read more here.

Abstract: We present the self-assembly of fibers formed from a peptide sequence (A1H1) derived from suckerin proteins of squid sucker ring teeth (SRT). SRT are protein-only biopolymers with an unconventional set of physicochemical and mechanical properties… read more here.
