In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

It is likely that nanofabrication will underpin many technologies in the 21st century. Synthetic
chemistry is a powerful approach to generate molecular structures that are capable of …

In recent years low molecular mass organic gelators (LMOGs) have gained increasing
interest as an alternative biomaterial to polymer derived gels, with potential applications in …

Pharmaceutical drugs with low water solubility have always received great attention within
the scientific community. The reduced bioavailability and the need of frequent …

This tutorial review aims to introduce a new kind of biomaterials—molecular hydrogels of
therapeutic agents. Based on the molecular self-assembly in water, it is possible to transform …

In recent years, self-assembly has emerged as a powerful tool for the construction of
functional nanostructures. Myriad applications of these nanoscale architectures, especially …

As systemically used therapeutics for treating acute or chronic pains or inflammations,
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) also associate with the adverse …

Enzymatic formation of supramolecular nanofibers is demonstrated as a novel approach to
induce intracellular hydrogelation and control the fate of cells or cellular functions, which can …

Dipeptide− conjugates can be efficient low molecular weight hydrogelators. However, the
effective design of a gelator for a specific application is compromised by the lack of a clear …

This Feature Article summarizes the design and synthesis of supramolecular hydrogels
based on nanofibers of self-assembled small bioactive molecules. The hydrogels show …
