Peptide-based materials that have diverse structures and functionalities are an important
type of biomaterials. In former times, peptide-based nanomaterials with excellent stability …

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 …

Supramolecular gels are formed by the self-assembly of small molecules under the
influence of various non-covalent interactions. As the interactions are individually weak and …

Supramolecular gels, self-assembled from low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWGs), have a
long history and a bright future. This review provides an overview of these materials, from …

Conspectus Higher-order or supramolecular protein assemblies, usually regulated by
enzymatic reactions, are ubiquitous and essential for cellular functions. This evolutionary …

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 …

Living organisms fabricate biomacromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins by the self-
assembly process. The research on the mechanism of biomacromolecule formation also …

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 hydrogels have been proven to be preeminent biomedical materials due to
their high water content, tunable mechanical stability, great biocompatibility and excellent …

Peptide-based supramolecular hydrogels have shown great promise as drug delivery
systems (DDSs) because of their excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, biological …
