Electrospun microfiber tubes and self-assembling peptides stimulate neural regeneration in rat sciatic nerve transections
Although many nerve prostheses have been proposed peripheral nerve injury is still a pathology that may impair patient’s movements. New synthetic nerve grafts comprising electrospun tubes and tailored self-assembling peptides are used in this study to regenerate 1 cm nerve gap of rat sciatic nerve in vivo. Experimental groups comprise lesioned animals (control), lesioned animals subjected to gu...
متن کاملThe role of neural precursor cells and self assembling peptides in nerve regeneration
OBJECTIVE Cranial nerve injury involves loss of central neural cells in the brain stem and surrounding support matrix, leading to severe functional impairment. Therapeutically targeting cellular replacement and enhancing structural support may promote neural regeneration. We examined the combinatorial effect of neural precursor cells (NPC) and self assembling peptide (SAP) administration on ner...
متن کاملSelf-assembling amphiphilic peptides†
The self-assembly of several classes of amphiphilic peptides is reviewed, and selected applications are discussed. We discuss recent work on the self-assembly of lipopeptides, surfactant-like peptides and amyloid peptides derived from the amyloid-β peptide. The influence of environmental variables such as pH and temperature on aggregate nanostructure is discussed. Enzyme-induced remodelling due...
متن کاملMolecular designer self-assembling peptides.
Chemistry has generally been associated with inorganic and organic syntheses, metal-organic composites, coordinate metal chemistry, catalyses, block copolymer, coating, thin film, industrial surfactants and small-molecule drug development. That is about to change. Chemistry will also expand to the discovery and fabrication of biological and molecular materials with diverse structures, functiona...
متن کاملStimuli-responsive self-assembling peptides made from antibacterial peptides.
How to use bioactive peptide sequences as fundamental building blocks to make hydrogel materials which are stimuli-responsive? In this article, we provide a novel designed peptide comprising two antibacterial peptide sequences (KIGAKI)3-NH2 and a central tetrapeptide linker. Results show that balancing the forces of the electrostatic repulsion of the charged lysine residues against the hydropho...
