| Bioactivity | Peptide K is a self-assembling peptide fiber that can be used to prepare fibrous nanocomposite hydrogels. The fibrous nanocomposite hydrogels have a dynamic network that adapts to cells and enhances cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions, thus significantly promoting the mechanotransduction, metabolic energy, and osteogenesis of encapsulated stem cells[1]. |
