Slow release of molecules in self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold.

Biological hydrogels consisting of self-assembling peptide nanofibers are potentially excellent materials for various controlled molecular release applications. The individual nanofiber consists of ionic self-complementary peptides with 16 amino acids (RADA16, Ac-RADARADARADARADA-CONH(2)) that are characterized by a stable beta-sheet structure and undergo self-assembly into hydrogels containing...

Self-Assembling Peptide Nanofiber Scaffolds Accelerate Wound Healing

Cutaneous wound repair regenerates skin integrity, but a chronic failure to heal results in compromised tissue function and increased morbidity. To address this, we have used an integrated approach, using nanobiotechnology to augment the rate of wound reepithelialization by combining self-assembling peptide (SAP) nanofiber scaffold and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF). This SAP bioscaffold was tes...

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...

Effects of a self-assembling peptide as a scaffold on bone formation in a defect

Spinal fusion and bone defect after injuries, removal of bone tumors, and infections need to be repaired by implantation. In an aging society, recovery from these procedures is often difficult. In this study, we found that injection of SPG-178 leads to expression of several bone marker genes and mineralization in vitro, and revealed a significantly higher degree of newly formed bone matrix with...
