چکیده

Abstract Background Hepatoma is a serious public health concern. New attempts are urgently needed to solve this problem. Melittin, host defense peptide derived from the venom of honeybees, has noteworthy hemolysis and non-specific cytotoxicity in clinical applications. Here, self-assembly melittin vitamin E-succinic acid-(glutamate) 12 (VG) was fabricated via noncovalent ?-stacking hydrogen bonding interactions using an environment-friendly method without “toxic” solvents. Results As expected, designed (denoted as M/VG nanoparticles) exhibits uniform morphology with particle size approximately 60 nm zeta potential ? 26.8 mV. Furthermore, added VG significantly decreased hemolytic activity, increased tumor-targeted effects, accelerated apoptosis. Conclusion Our research provides promising strategy for development natural self-assembled biological peptides application, particularly transforming toxic into safe therapeutic systems. Graphical

p48: self-assembling peptide nanostructures as a good scaffold for treatment of spinal cord injury

to date, various approaches have been used in attempt to treat spinal cord injury (sci) but there is no definite treatment for repair of the damaged tissue. it is well known that sci results in a loss of neural tissues and formation of cystic cavities that inhibit regeneration of axons. tissue engineering, in which cells, signals and scaffolds are combined, is one of the most promising areas of...
