## Abstract We report here a designer self‐assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold developed specifically for nerve tissue engineering. We synthesized a peptide FGL‐RADA containing FGL (EVYVVAENQQGKSKA), the motif of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), and then attended to make a FGL nanofiber scaf
