Abstract

Abstract : Peptide diffusion into an enzymatically active hydrogel induces the formation of a self-assembled network, changing the mechanical and chemical properties. Abstract : The diffusion of adequate peptide through an enzyme-embedded host hydrogel leads to the in situ start-up and growth of an interpenetrated fibrous network. Based on the enzyme-assisted self-assembly concept, both chemistry and mechanical features of the hybrid hydrogel can be tuned.
