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

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world and one of the major public health
problems. Despite the great advances in cancer therapy, the incidence and mortality rates of …

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 …

The rational design of drug delivery approaches leveraging supramolecular chemistry
(ie,“chemistry beyond the molecule”) has garnered significant interest in recent years toward …

Peptide-based hydrogels have been proven to be preeminent biomedical materials due to
their high water content, tunable mechanical stability, great biocompatibility and excellent …

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 …
