The development of bioinks for bioprinting of cell‐laden constructs remains a challenge for
tissue engineering, despite vigorous investigation. Hydrogels to be used as bioinks must …

Hydrogels prepared via self-assembly offer scalable and tunable platforms for drug delivery
applications. Molecular-scale self-assembly leverages an interplay of attractive and …

In the human body, almost all cells interact with extracellular matrices (ECMs), which have
tissue and organ-specific compositions and architectures. These ECMs not only function as …

During the billions of years of the evolutionary journey, primitive polymers, involved in proto
metabolic pathways with low catalytic activity, played critical roles in the emergence of …

Modulation of the structural diversity of diphenylalanine-based assemblies by molecular
modification and solvent alteration has been extensively explored for bio-and …

Narcissistic self-sorting in supramolecular assemblies can help to construct materials with
more complex hierarchies. Whereas controlled changes in pH or temperature have been …

Molecular self-assembly is pervasive in the formation of living and synthetic materials.
Knowledge gained from research into the principles of molecular self-assembly drives …

Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …
