The materials used in medical science are a primary area of research in the development of tissue engineering therapies. There is an urgent need for a great number of materials that can meet the wide range of requirements imposed by biomedical applications. Ionic self-complementary oligopeptide biomaterials are a new class of synthetic materials with great potential for medical use. The objecti...

The influence of 3-dimensional (3D) scaffolds on growth, proliferation and finally neuronal differentiation is of great interest in order to find new methods for cell-based and standardised therapies in neurological disorders or neurodegenerative diseases. 3D structures are expected to provide an environment much closer to the in vivo situation than 2D cultures. In the context of regenerative m...
