Two-dimensional and three-dimensional cell culture systems are widely used for biological
studies, and are the basis of the organoid, tissue engineering and organ-on-chip research …

Natural biomolecular systems have evolved to form a rich variety of supramolecular
materials and machinery fundamental to cellular function. The assembly of these structures …

Peptides have been extensively utilized to construct nanomaterials that display targeted
structure through hierarchical assembly. The self-assembly of both rationally designed …

Drug development is a lengthy and costly process that proceeds through several stages
from target identification to lead discovery and optimization, preclinical validation and …

Self-assembled peptides and proteins possess tremendous potential as targeted drug
delivery systems and key applications of these well-defined nanostructures reside in anti …

Low molecular weight gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules into
anisotropic structures that form a network capable of immobilizing the solvent. Such gels are …

Hydrogel delivery systems can leverage therapeutically beneficial outcomes of drug delivery
and have found clinical use. Hydrogels can provide spatial and temporal control over the …

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 …

Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in
medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and …

Many extracellular matrices (ECMs) have a filamentous architecture, which influences cell
growth and phenotype and imparts tissues with specific properties. Man-made fibrillar …
