The fundamental roles that peptides and proteins play in today's biology makes it almost
indisputable that peptides were key players in the origin of life. Insofar as it is appropriate to …

In nature, the self-assembly of sequence-specific biopolymers into hierarchical structures
plays an essential role in the construction of functional biomaterials. To develop synthetic …

The translational therapies to promote interaction between cell and signal come with
stringent eligibility criteria. The chemically defined, hierarchically organized, and simpler yet …

Unnatural helical peptidic foldamers have attracted considerable attention owing to their
unique folding behaviours, diverse artificial protein binding mechanisms, and promising …

Recording neural activity from the living brain is of great interest in neuroscience for
interpreting cognitive processing or neurological disorders. Despite recent advances in …

Different classes of foldamers, which are synthetic oligomers that adopt well-defined
conformations in solution, have been the subject of extensive studies devoted to the …

Peptide self-assembly is the process by which peptide molecules aggregate into low
dimensional (1D, 2D) or 3D ordered materials with potential applications ranging from drug …

We report a new class of β-peptide based hydrogel for neural tissue engineering. Our β-
peptide forms a network of nanofibres in aqueous solution, resulting in a stable hydrogel at …

Peptides comprised entirely of β-amino acids, or β-peptides, have attracted substantial
interest over the past 25 years due to their unique structural and chemical characteristics. β …

The engineering of biological molecules is the fundamental concept behind the design of
complex materials with desirable functions. Over the last few decades, peptides and proteins …
