Lipopeptides—peptides covalently linked to lipid moieties—represent a versatile class of amphiphilic molecules whose structural features allow them to self-assemble, interact with membranes, and modulate interfacial phenomena. Here, we explore the nature of lipopeptides, survey their structural diversity and physicochemical properties, and discuss novel research-domain implications beyond classical antimicrobial roles. We go on to highlight how lipopeptides may serve as tools...

Mechano Growth Factor (MGF) is a 24-amino acid peptide derived from an alternatively spliced isoform of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), specifically the IGF-IEc variant. This peptide is predominantly expressed in response to mechanical stress, such as muscle cell contraction, and is believed to play a crucial role in tissue repair and regeneration. MGF has garnered significant attention in various...
