Self-healing is the capability of a material to recover from physical damage. Both physical
and chemical approaches have been used to construct self-healing polymers. These include …

Polymers, ceramics and metals have historically dominated the application of materials in
medicine. Yet rationally designed materials that exploit specific, directional, tunable and …

Wound care management relies mainly on the development of new and effective wound
dressing materials, and it continues to be an intense area of research in chronic wound care …

In the last century, small-molecule natural products were the main inspiration for most drug
discovery programs based either on high-throughput screening (HTS) or rational design …

Low molecular weight supramolecular gels consist of small molecules (gelators) that in an
appropriate solvent self-assemble into nano-or micro-scale network structures resulting in …

Self‐assembly is a ubiquitous process in biology where it plays numerous important roles
and underlies the formation of a wide variety of complex biological structures. Over the past …

Hydrogels comprise a class of soft materials which are extremely useful in a number of
contexts, for example as matrix-mimetic biomaterials for applications in regenerative …

Biomaterials made from self-assembling, short peptides and peptide derivatives have great
potential to generate powerful new therapies in regenerative medicine. The high signaling …

In the last two decades, protein–protein interactions (PPIs) have been used as the main
target for drug development. However, with larger or superficial binding sites, it has been …

There is great demand for the development of novel therapies for ischemic cardiovascular
disease, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We report here on the …
