Self-assembly and mineralization of peptide-amphiphile nanofibers.
We have used the pH-induced self-assembly of a peptide-amphiphile to make a nanostructured fibrous scaffold reminiscent of extracellular matrix. The design of this peptide-amphiphile allows the nanofibers to be reversibly cross-linked to enhance or decrease their structural integrity. After cross-linking, the fibers are able to direct mineralization of hydroxyapatite to form a composite materia...
متن کاملtissue regeneration through self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanofibers
introduction: in the present study, we hypothesized that a novel approach to promote vascularization would be to create injectable three dimensional (3-d) scaffolds within growth factor that enhance the sustained release of growth factor and induce the angiogenesis. material and methods: we demonstrate that a 3-d scaffold can be formed by mixing of peptide-amphiphile (pa) aqueous solution with ...

متن کاملBioactive peptide functionalized aligned cyclodextrin nanofibers for neurite outgrowth
Guidance of neurite extension and establishment of neural connectivity hold great importance for neural tissue regeneration and neural conduit implants. Although bioactive-epitope functionalized synthetic or natural polymeric materials have been proposed for the induction of neural regeneration, chemical modifications of these materials for neural differentiation still remain a challenge due to...
متن کاملCyclic peptide facial amphiphile preprogrammed to self-assemble into bioactive peptide capsules.
Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have shown great potential as promising biomaterials. Peptides have the advantage of being intrinsically biocompatible materials. Peptides, as self-assembling building blocks, have mostly been designed to have head/tail molecular configuration. Since there is a great deal of interest in the precise control of a self-assembly process, novel building blocks s...
