Progress in Polymer Science Invites a8体育官网 Scholars to Review on Development of Anti-drug Resistant Bacteria with Simulated Host Defense Peptides

Recently, the research team of a8体育官网 Liu Runhui were invited by editor-in-chief Jean-FrancoisLutz, and senior editors a8体育官网 Chuanbing Tang and a8体育官网 Michael Bockstaller from Progress in Polymer Science to write an article summarizing and commenting on the research progress in the field of antibacterial amino acid polymers simulating host defense peptides, focusing on its structural design, synthesis and related biomedical applications. The review is titled “Host defense peptide mimicking antimicrobial amino acid polymers and beyond: design, synthesis and biomedical applications” and published in the top review journal Progress in Polymer Science.

The review article is first authored by Wu Yueming, a postdoctoral fellow of “ New Doctoral Plan” in School of Materials Science and Engineering and corresponding-authored by a8体育官网 Liu Runhui. This research work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Science and Technology and China Postdoctoral Science Foundation.
