Peptide Self-Assembly into Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications Related to Hydroxyapatite

Amphiphilic peptides can be self-assembled by establishing physical cross-links involving hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions with divalent ions. The derived hydrogels have promising properties due to their biocompatibility, reversibility, trigger capability, and tunability. Peptide hydrog...
