Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials are an emerging class of biomaterials with
remarkable potential for biomedical applications. The planar topography of these …

Short peptides are ubiquitous in nature. They are found as hormones, pheromones,
antibacterial and antifungal agents in innate immunity systems, toxins, and pesticides. But …

In this review we intend to provide a relatively comprehensive summary of the work of
supramolecular hydrogelators after 2004 and to put emphasis particularly on the …

Inspired by self-assembling peptides found in native proteins, deliberately designed
engineered peptides have shown outstanding biocompatibility, biodegradability, and …

Well-defined scaffold hydrogels made of self-assembling peptides have found their way into
clinical products. By examining the properties and applications of two self-assembling …

This review discusses supramolecular biofunctional materials, a novel class of biomaterials
formed by small molecules that are held together via noncovalent interactions. The …

Healing-on-demand materials exhibit the capability to close cracks and heal the
closed/narrowed cracks when needed and to recover functionality using intrinsic or extrinsic …

Augmentation of regenerative osteogenesis represents a premier clinical need, as hundreds
of thousands of patients are left with insufficient healing of bony defects related to a host of …

The ability to target specific cell types to achieve optimal distribution of therapeutic entities
into diseased tissues, while limiting possible adverse off-target effects, has long been a goal …

Nanostructured scaffolds recently showed great promise in tissue engineering:
nanomaterials can be tailored at the molecular level and scaffold morphology may more …
