<p>Peptide amphiphile self assembly and gelation to form nanofiber networks having cells within the network are described. The molecular structure of peptide amphiphiles and compositions including them suitable for forming nanofiber networks with cells under physiological conditions are also described. Methods to incorporate dissociated cells into self-assembled peptide amphiphile gels for molding of implants, in situ molding in animals, and injection of peptide amphiphile and cell compositions into an animal for tissue engineering and tissue repair applications are disclosed. The methods and compositions of the present invention are used to grow animal cells in a self assembled nanofiber network.</p> |
