An LMU research team led by Professor Olivia M. Merkel, Chair of Drug Delivery at LMU, has developed a new delivery system ...

Recent advances in synthetic polypeptide and polymer chemistry have transformed the landscape of biomaterials by combining the precision of organic synthesis with the versatile functionalities of ...

Novel hybrid polymer nanocarriers enable effective vaccine delivery in the lungs and the targeted activation of immune cells.

A research study describes a systematic high-throughput design approach for virtual screening and creation of novel polypeptide-based molecules that form regular secondary structures that can be used ...

Here we describe a systematic approach to search through dipeptide combinations of 130 chemically diverse amino acids to identify those predicted to populate unique low-energy states. A research study ...

Polymer engineering is undergoing a decisive shift from a discipline dominated by commodity thermoplastics and incremental processing improvements to one defined by performance-by-design, ...

A persistent driver is the demand for lightweight materials that retain mechanical integrity under thermal and chemical stress. High-performance polymers, exemplified by polyether ether ketone (PEEK), ...
