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

The development of biocompatible and precisely printable bioink addresses the growing
demand for three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting applications in the field of tissue engineering …

Abstract Recently, four-dimensional (4D) printing is emerging as the next-generation
biofabrication technology. However, current 4D bioprinting lacks biocompatibility or multi …

Low-molecular-weight gels are currently a hugely important class of materials that are
attracting significant interest. These gels are formed when small molecules self-assemble …

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 …

Injectable hydrogels with biodegradability have in situ formability which in vitro/in vivo allows
an effective and homogeneous encapsulation of drugs/cells, and convenient in vivo surgical …

Injectable hydrogels are becoming increasingly important in the fields of tissue engineering
and drug delivery due to their tunable properties, controllable degradation, high water …

Replicating the multi-hierarchical self-assembly of collagen has long-attracted scientists,
from both the perspective of the fundamental science of supramolecular chemistry and that …

Hydrogels can be formed by the self-assembly of certain small molecules in water. Self-
assembly occurs via non-covalent interactions. The self-assembly leads to the formation of …
