Peptide-based supramolecular systems chemistry seeks to mimic the ability of life forms to
use conserved sets of building blocks and chemical reactions to achieve a bewildering array …

The communication of cells with their surroundings is mostly encoded in the epitopes of
structural and signalling proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). These peptide …

Local reconstruction of a permissive environment with biomaterials is a promising strategy to
treat spinal cord injury (SCI). We reported a hybrid hydrogel fabricated from a small …

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 …

The self-assembly and structural and functional properties of peptide conjugates containing
bulky terminal aromatic substituents are reviewed with a particular focus on bioactivity …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Ionic liquid gel materials offer a way to further utilise ionic liquids in technological
applications. Combining the controlled and directed assembly of gels, with the diverse …

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 …

Stem cells are known to differentiate in response to the chemical and mechanical properties
of the substrates on which they are cultured. Thus, supramolecular biomaterials with tunable …

Design of endogenous stimuli-responsive amino acids allows for precisely modulating
proteins or peptides under a biological microenvironment and thereby regulating their …
