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 …

Short peptides are ubiquitous in nature. They are found as hormones, pheromones,
antibacterial and antifungal agents in innate immunity systems, toxins, and pesticides. But …

Short peptides are uniquely versatile building blocks for self-assembly. Supramolecular
peptide assemblies can be used to construct functional hydrogel biomaterials—an attractive …

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 …

Hydrogels based on polysaccharide and protein natural polymers are of great interest in
biomedical applications and more specifically for tissue regeneration and drug delivery …

Well-defined scaffold hydrogels made of self-assembling peptides have found their way into
clinical products. By examining the properties and applications of two self-assembling …

With the flourishing development of material simulation methods (quantum chemistry
methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo, phase field, etc.), extensive adoption of …

Life's diverse molecular functions are largely based on only a small number of highly
conserved building blocks–the twenty canonical amino acids. These building blocks are …

Peptidic biomaterials represent a particularly exciting topic in regenerative medicine.
Peptidic scaffolds can be specifically designed for biomimetic customization for targeted …

Amphiphilic peptides can be self-assembled by establishing physical cross-links involving
hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions with divalent ions. The derived hydrogels …
