Unleashing Nature’s Power: Wasp Venom Peptides Hold Promise as Antibacterial Agents

Introduction: In a study published today in Cell Reports Physical Science, our team has made a significant breakthrough in the battle against bacterial infections. By harnessing the antimicrobial properties hidden within the venom of the solitary eumenine wasp Eumenes micado, we have successfully converted venom peptides into potent antimicrobial agents. This approach offers a new […]
