Dipeptides and their cyclized 2,5-piperazinedione (or diketopiperazine, DKP) derivatives
are attractive building blocks for supramolecular hydrogels. The Phe-Phe, (p-nitro)-Phe-Phe, …

A major challenge of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to translate phenotypic
associations into biological insights. Here, we integrate a large GWAS on blood lipids …
