Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are releasing a third edition of the Special Issue on “Advances in Research of Short Peptides: Third Edition”, and will provide new studies on these amazing molecules that show outstanding structural and functional variety, from proteins to small chemical compounds. In recent years, the interest in short peptides has been remarkable, as was reflected in the first edition of this Special Issue. The first edition comprised 26 informative articles regarding peptides in health and disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped diverse fields of science and biotechnologies that will have an influence on the unlimited possibilities and applications of short peptides in the future. We are witnessing an evolving growth in biomedicine and beyond, in which short peptides are key players. In this regard, Molecules is delighted to present cutting-edge discoveries in, uses of, and progress in short peptides in this forthcoming third edition of this Special Issue.
Researchers from different fields from all over the world are invited to submit original experimental papers; theoretical uses of peptides; as well as reviews, communications, reports, and notes on short peptide (peptidomimetic)-based research topics.
We invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, and look forward to your valuable contributions.
Dr. Octavio Paredes-López
Guest Editor
