The unique advantages and the exciting application prospects of AIEgens have triggered
booming developments in this area in recent years. Among them, stimuli‐responsive …

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

Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in
medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and …

Peptide‐based materials are one of the most important biomaterials, with diverse structures
and functionalities. Over the past few decades, a self‐assembly strategy is introduced to …

Abstract Arginase 1 (ARG1) inactivates T cells by degrading L-arginine, severely reducing
the immunotherapeutic efficacy. Effectively blocking the ARG1 pathway remains a …

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

Mixed thermoreversible gels were successfully fabricated by the addition of a
thermosensitive polymer, poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM), to fibrillar nanostructures …

Gels are a commonplace household item and are easily identified by the simple “inversion
test”; turn a pot of gel upside down and it is able to support its own weight without falling out …

Peptide-based hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials finding use in food industry
and potential use in tissue engineering, drug delivery and microfluidics. A primary …

Hydrogels are polymeric networks, capable of absorbing large amounts of water and
biological fluids. They are insoluble due to the presence of chemical or physical cross-links …
