Self-Assembling Peptide EAK16 and RADA16 Nanofiber Scaffold Hydrogel
Abstract
Short peptides are ubiquitous in nature. They are found as hormones, pheromones, antibacterial and antifungal agents in innate immunity systems, toxins, and pesticides. But no one seriously considered that peptides could be useful as scaffold hydrogel materials. There has been a significant change since 1990 after the discovery of an ionic self-complementary peptide as a very interesting repeating segment in a yeast protein. It is now recognized that self-assembling peptides made from 20 natural amino acids have real material properties. Currently, many diverse applications have been developed from these simple and designer self-assembling peptide scaffold hydrogels and are commercially available. Examples include: (1) real 3D tissue cell cultures of diverse tissue cells and various stem cells, (2) reparative and regenerative medicine as well as tissue engineering, (3) 3D tissue printing, (4) sustained releases of small molecules, growth factors, and monoclonal antibodies, and (5) accelerated wound healings of skin and diabetic ulcers as well as instant hemostatic applications in surgery. Self-assembling peptide nanobiotechnology will likely continue to expand in many directions in the coming years.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
