In 2011, bacterial blight of arugula (Eruca vesicaria subsp. sativa; cv. Roquette) was observed in organically grown plants under overhead irrigation in a field near Delano, MN. Approximately 80 to 100% of each planting was affected, with greater rates...

Customized Peptide Biomaterial Synthesis via an Environment-Reliant Auto-Programmer Stigmergic Approach.

Materials (Basel, Switzerland)

Badhe RV, Kumar P, Choonara YE, Marimuthu T, du Toit LC, Bijukumar D, Chejara DR, Mabrouk M, Pillay V.
PMID: 29659507
Materials (Basel). 2018 Apr 16;11(4). doi: 10.3390/ma11040609.

Stigmergy, a form of self-organization, was employed here to engineer a self-organizing peptide capable of forming a nano- or micro-structure and that can potentially be used in various drug delivery and biomedical applications. These self-assembling peptides exhibit several desirable...
