Fabrication of Cytocompatible Self-Assembling Antimicrobial Nanofibers Via Peptide Self-assembly

摘要

We demonstrated a new way of assembling AMPs leading to antimicrobial nanomaterials with greatly improved stability and cytocompatibility. The formation of the supramolecular nanofiber is the key to improved stability and cytocompatibility of these peptides. We believe this simple yet elegant and effective approach will advance the use of highly cytocompatible AMPs to treat bacterial infections both topically and systemically.
