Abstract
Chronic wound biofilm infections are a threat to the population with respect to morbidity and mortality. The presence of multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens in chronic wound renders the action of antibiotics and antibiofilm agents difficult. Therefore an alternative therapy is essential for reducing bacterial biofilm burden. In this scenario, the peptide-based antibiofilm therapy for chronic wound biofilm management seeks more attention. A synthetic peptide with a broad range of antibiofilm activity against preformed and established biofilms, having the ability to kill multispecies bacteria within biofilms and possessing combinatorial activity with other antimicrobial agents, provides significant insights. In this review, we portray the possibilities and difficulties of peptide-mediated treatment in chronic wounds biofilm management and how it can be clinically translated into a product.
Keywords: Bacterial biofilm, antibiofilm agent, anti-microbial peptides (AMPs), delayed wound healing, combinatorial therapy, chronic.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
