Natural biomolecular systems have evolved to form a rich variety of supramolecular
materials and machinery fundamental to cellular function. The assembly of these structures …

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

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

Enzymatic reactions and noncovalent (ie, supramolecular) interactions are two fundamental
nongenetic attributes of life. Enzymatic noncovalent synthesis (ENS) refers to a process …

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 …

Biological signalling is regulated through a complex and tightly choreographed interplay
between cells and their extracellular matrix. The spatiotemporal control of these interactions …

Cell spheroids bridge the discontinuity between in vitro systems and in vivo animal models.
However, inducing cell spheroids by nanomaterials remains an inefficient and poorly …

Supramolecular hydrogels assembled from amino acids and peptide‐derived hydrogelators
have shown great potential as biomimetic three‐dimensional (3D) extracellular matrices …

Biomolecular condensates have been demonstrated as a ubiquitous phenomenon in
biological systems and play a crucial role in controlling cellular functions. However, the …
