We report a new class of β-peptide based hydrogel for neural tissue engineering. Our β-
peptide forms a network of nanofibres in aqueous solution, resulting in a stable hydrogel at …

Designer peptides with self-assembling properties form nanofibers which are further
organized to form a hydrogel consisting of up to 99.5% water. We present here the …

We designed nanofibrous hydrogels as 2-D and 3-D scaffolds for anchorage-dependent
cells. The IKVAV-containing peptide amphiphile molecules spontaneously self-assembled …

Neural tissue engineering holds great potential in addressing current challenges faced by
medical therapies employed for the functional recovery of the brain. In this context, self …

Hydrogels can offer cells an extracellular matrix-like growth environment which traditional
culture methods cannot provide. Hydrogels therefore have great value in tissue engineering …

Tissue engineering is an appealing research field that involves the replacement and repair
of damaged cells and tissues. Scientists and researchers are facing a great challenge to …

Short peptides are uniquely versatile building blocks for self-assembly. Supramolecular
peptide assemblies can be used to construct functional hydrogel biomaterials—an attractive …

The development of peptide-based materials has emerged as one of the most challenging
aspects of biomaterials in recent years. It has been widely acknowledged that peptide-based …

Molecular hydrogels hold big potential for tissue engineering and controlled drug delivery.
Our lab focuses on short-peptide-based molecular hydrogels formed by biocompatible …

Biological building blocks construct complex architectures and machinery through the
process of molecular self-assembly. This process offers a new direction for the design and …
