Exosomes are nanovesicles released by a variety of cells and are detected in body fluids
including blood. Recent studies have highlighted the critical application of exosomes as …

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) include the exosomes (30-100 nm) that are produced through
the endocytic pathway via the multivesicular bodies and the ectosomes (100-1000 nm) that …

Multimodal atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to map charge transfer properties in
correlation to the molecular superstructure of poly(ethyldioxythiophene)–poly(styrenesulfonic …

Using an atomic force microscope, we have studied three-dimensional molecular topography
and calcium-sensitive conformational changes of individual hemichannels. Full-length (non…

The skin secretions of Australian tree frogs are rich in peptides with potential antimicrobial
activity. They interrupt bacterial cell membranes, although precisely how and whether all …

Small proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMP) have attracted considerable interest, as they
target specific intracellular bacterial components and do not act by lytic mechanisms. Here, …

Syringic acid (SA) is a natural phenolic acid found in vegetables, fruits, and other plant-based
foods. A range of biological activities were proposed for this compound including …

We demonstrate a straightforward and rapid atomization process driven by surface acoustic
waves that is capable of continuously producing spherical monodispersed submicron poly-ε-…

Membrane-disrupting antimicrobial peptides provide broad-spectrum defence against
localized bacterial invasion in a range of hosts including humans. The most generally held …

Antioxidants are a diverse group of chemicals with proven health benefits and thus potential
preventive medicine and therapeutic applications. While most of these compounds are …
