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 …

Over the past century, hydrogels have emerged as effective materials for an immense variety
of applications. The unique network structure of hydrogels enables very high levels of …

Nature is enriched with a wide variety of complex, synergistic, and highly functional protein-
based multicomponent assemblies. As such, nature has served as a source of inspiration for …

Bone tissue engineering is becoming an ideal strategy to replace autologous bone grafts for
surgical bone repair, but the multihierarchical complexity of natural bone is still difficult to …

Hydrogels are unique supramolecular solid-like assemblies composed mainly of water
molecules that are held by molecular networks. Physical hydrogels that are formed by a set …

Peptide-based hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials finding use in food industry
and potential use in tissue engineering, drug delivery and microfluidics. A primary …

Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol, is an extract of turmeric root with antioxidant, anti-
inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic properties. Its lack of water solubility and relatively low …

The traditional motivation for integrating biological components into microfabricated devices
has been to create biosensors that meld the molecular recognition capabilities of biology …

Hydrogels based on polysaccharide and protein natural polymers are of great interest in
biomedical applications and more specifically for tissue regeneration and drug delivery …

A peptide-based hydrogelation strategy has been developed that allows homogenous
