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 …

Self-assembly of peptides can yield an array of well-defined nanostructures that are highly
attractive nanomaterials for many biomedical applications such as drug delivery. Some of …

The amino acid sequences of peptides determine their self-assembling properties. Accurate
prediction of peptidic hydrogel formation, however, remains a challenging task. This work …

Supramolecular chemistry originally defined by Lehn as “chemistry beyond molecules”
exploits noncovalent interactions between molecules to form 1D, 2D, and 3D …

Peptide–drug conjugates (PDCs) represent an important class of therapeutic agents that
combine one or more drug molecules with a short peptide through a biodegradable linker …

The widespread multidrug resistance resulting from the abuse of antibiotics motivates
researchers to explore alternative methods to treat bacterial infections. Recently, the …

Self-assembling natural drug hydrogels formed without structural modification and able to
act as carriers are of interest for biomedical applications. A lack of knowledge about natural …

The rise of bacterial resistance to current antibiotics poses a threat to humanity and
reinforces the need for new-generation nanomaterials with antibacterial properties and …

The emergence of drug-resistant microbes has become a threat to global health, and
microbial infections severely limit the use of healthcare materials. To achieve efficient …

Self-assembling peptides are biomedical materials with unique structures that are formed in
response to various environmental conditions. Governed by their physicochemical …
