The antitumor efficiency and clinical translation of traditional nanomedicines is mainly
restricted by low drug loading, complex preparation technology, and potential toxicity …

Recent years have seen substantial efforts aimed at constructing artificial cells from various
molecular components with the aim of mimicking the processes, behaviours and …

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 …

The situations in which biomaterials are currently used are vastly different to those of just a
decade ago. Although implantable medical devices are still immensely important, medical …

The successful assembly of large supramolecular structures infers a delicate balance
between reversible noncovalent interactions which are capable of undergoing correction …

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 …

Molecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of low-molecular weight compounds by
weak non-covalent interactions and thus, they may be easily disassembled in response to …

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 …

d-Peptides, as the enantiomers of the naturally occurring l-peptides, usually resist
endogenous proteases and are presumably insensitive to most enzymes. But, it is unclear …
