Novel ultrashort hydrophobic peptides that self-assemble into nanofibrous hydrogels and their uses

摘要

The present invention relates to hydrophobic peptides and/or peptidomimetics capable of forming a (nanofibrous) hydrogel and hydrogels comprising said hydrophobic peptides and/or peptidomimetics and to various uses, such as in regenerative medicine, injectable therapies, delivery of bioactive moieties, wound healing, 2D and 3D synthetic cell culture substrate, biosensor development, biofunctionalized surfaces, and biofabrication.
