Organoids—cellular aggregates derived from stem or progenitor cells that recapitulate organ
function in miniature—are of growing interest in developmental biology and medicine …

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

Spinal cord injury remains a scientific and therapeutic challenge with great cost to
individuals and society. The goal of research in this field is to find a means of restoring lost …

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 …

The successful transplantation of stem cells has the potential to transform regenerative
medicine approaches and open promising avenues to repair, replace, and regenerate …

Organoids with region-specific architecture could facilitate the repair of injuries of the central
nervous system. Here we show that human astrocytes can be directly reprogrammed into …

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 …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) can lead to iron overloading and subsequent neuronal ferroptosis,
which hinders the recovery of locomotor function. However, it is still unclear whether the …

Designer self‐assembling peptides form the entangled nanofiber networks in hydrogels by
ionic‐complementary self‐assembly. This type of hydrogel has realistic biological and …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) often causes severe functional impairment of body, which leads to a
huge burden to the patient and the whole society. Many strategies, especially biomaterials …
