## Abstract An important challenge in regenerative medicine is the design of suitable bioactive scaffold materials that can act as artificial extracellular matrices. We reported previously on a family of peptide‐amphiphile (PA) molecules that self‐assemble into high‐aspect ratio nanofibers under ph

## Abstract The self‐assembly of peptides is explored as an alternative route towards the development of new injectable joint lubricants for osteoarthritis (OA). The versatility of the peptide chemistry allows the incorporation of behavior reminiscent of hyaluronic acid (HA), while the triggered __
## Abstract The promising potential of a RAD‐16 self‐assembly‐peptide hydrogel as a scaffold for tissue‐engineered cartilage was investigated. Within 3 weeks of in vitro culture, chondrocytes within the hydrogel produced a high amount of GAG and type‐II collagen, which are the components of cartila
