Rational Molecular Design of Complementary Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogels
Rational molecular design of self- assembling peptide-based materials that spontaneously form self-supporting hydrogels shows potential in many healthcare applications. Binary peptides based on complementary charged sequences are developed, and the use of biophysical analysis and cell-based studies highlights that the charged interactions can influence the properties of peptide materials and ul...
متن کاملFunctionalized d-form self-assembling peptide hydrogels for bone regeneration
Bone defects are very common in orthopedics, and there is great need to develop suitable bone grafts for transplantation in vivo. However, current bone grafts still encounter some limitations, including limited availability, immune rejection, poor osteoinduction and osteoconduction, poor biocompatibility and degradation properties, etc. Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffolds have emerged a...
متن کاملDesign of Decorated Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogels as Architecture for Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Hydrogels from self-assembling ionic complementary peptides have been receiving a lot of interest from the scientific community as mimetic of the extracellular matrix that can offer three-dimensional supports for cell growth or can become vehicles for the delivery of stem cells, drugs or bioactive proteins. In order to develop a 3D "architecture" for mesenchymal stem cells, we propose the intro...
متن کاملRational design and application of responsive α-helical peptide hydrogels
Biocompatible hydrogels have a wide variety of potential applications in biotechnology and medicine, such as the controlled delivery and release of cells, cosmetics and drugs, and as supports for cell growth and tissue engineering. Rational peptide design and engineering are emerging as promising new routes to such functional biomaterials. Here, we present the first examples of rationally desig...
