Functional self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel for peripheral nerve regeneration
Peripheral nerves are fragile and easily damaged, usually resulting in nervous tissue loss, motor and sensory function loss. Advances in neuroscience and engineering have been significantly contributing to bridge the damage nerve and create permissive environment for axonal regrowth across lesions. We have successfully designed two self-assembling peptides by modifying RADA 16-I with two functi...
متن کاملControlled release of functional proteins through designer self-assembling peptide nanofiber hydrogel scaffold.
The release kinetics for a variety of proteins of a wide range of molecular mass, hydrodynamic radii, and isoelectric points through a nanofiber hydrogel scaffold consisting of designer self-assembling peptides were studied by using single-molecule fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). In contrast to classical diffusion experiments, the single-molecule approach allowed for the direct det...
متن کاملFunctionalized self-assembling peptide hydrogel enhance maintenance of hepatocyte activity in vitro
There is a major challenge in maintaining functional hepatocytes in vivo as these cells rapidly lose their metabolic properties in culture. In this work we have developed a bioengineered platform that replaces the use of the collagen I--in the traditional culture sandwich technique--by a defined extracellular matrix analogue, the self-assembling peptide hydrogel RAD16-I functionalized with biol...
متن کاملThe Neutral Self-Assembling Peptide Hydrogel SPG-178 as a Topical Hemostatic Agent
Conventional self-assembling peptide hydrogels are effective as topical hemostatic agents. However, there is a possibility to harm living tissues due to their low pH. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the efficacy of SPG-178, a neutral self-assembling peptide hydrogel, as a topical hemostatic agent. First, we measured the bleeding duration of incisions made on rat livers after app...
