Shear-Thinning Extrudable Hydrogels Based on Star Polypeptides with Antimicrobial Properties

Shear-Thinning Extrudable Hydrogels Based on Star Polypeptides with Antimicrobial Properties

Hydrogels with low toxicity, antimicrobial potency and shear-thinning behavior are promising materials to combat the modern challenges of increased infections. Here, we report on 8-arm star block copolypeptides based on poly(L-lysine), poly(L-tyrosine) and poly(S-benzyl-L-cysteine) blocks. Three sta...
