Self-Assembling Peptide-Based Hydrogels for Wound Tissue Repair.

ABSTRACT: Wound healing is a long-term, multistage biological process that includes hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and tissue remodeling and requires intelligent designs to provide comprehensive and convenient treatment. The complexity of wounds has led to a lack of adequate wound treatment materials, which must systematically regulate unique wound microenvironments. Hydrogels have significant advantages in wound treatment due to their ability to provide spatiotemporal control over the wound healing process. Self-assembling peptide-based hydrogels are particularly attractive due to their innate biocompatibility and biodegradability along with additional advantages including ligand-receptor recognition, stimulus-responsive self-assembly, and the ability to mimic the extracellular matrix.
