A water playground for peptide re-assembly from fibrils to plates Short-peptide amyloid assembly and disassembly play crucial roles in various research fields, which range from addressing pathologies that lack therapeutic solutions to the development of innovative soft (bio)materials. Hydrogels from short peptides typically show thermo-reversible gel-to-sol transition, whereby fibrils disassemble upon heating, and re-assemble upon cooling down to room temperature (rt).

AbstractRoot systems take up water and nutrients from the soil and thereby underpin all essential plant functions. The size of the root system affects the ability of roots to capture these resources and determine the amount of carbon that roots transfer into the soil. Understanding the genetic basis of root biomass is therefore very important for enhancing crop resilience and productivity, especially in the face of climate change, as for soil carbon sequestration efforts.

Microfluidic-driven short peptides hydrogels with optical waveguiding property. Soft photonic elements with optical waveguiding ability based on biocompatible hydrogels have become increasingly important in optical techniques for medical diagnosis and phototherapy, among others. Supramolecular hydrogels based on peptides with interesting optical properties are rarely reported and explored.

In vitro study of the blood–brain barrier transport of bioactives from Mediterranean foods† The Mediterranean diet (MD), characterized by olive oil, olives, fruits, vegetables, and wine intake, is associated with a reduced risk of dementia. These foods are rich in bioactives with neuroprotective and antioxidant properties, including hydroxytyrosol (HT), tyrosol (TYRS), serotonin (SER) and protocatechuic acid (PCA), a phenolic acid metabolite of anthocyanins.
