## Abstract In this study, a new functionalized peptide RLN was designed containing the bioactive motif link N, the amino terminal peptide of link protein. A link N nanofiber scaffold (LN‐NS) was self‐assembled by mixing peptide solution of RLN and RADA16. The characterization of LN‐NS was tested u

## 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
## 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 We evaluated the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using a new class of synthetic self‐assembling peptide hydrogels, RADA 16, as a scaffold for three‐dimensional culture. MSCs derived from rat bone marrow were culture‐expanded and seeded into the hydrogel and f
## Abstract RADARADARADARADA (RADA16‐I) peptide, consisting of 16 alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic (also alternating negative and positive charges) amino acids, forms extremely stable β‐pleated sheet structure and then self‐assembles into nanofibers to produce high‐order interwoven nanofiber
