Abstract

Abstract : The successful buildup of biomimetic supramolecular multilayered nanobiomaterials comprising high‐molecularweight alginate biopolymer and low‐molecular‐weight selfassembling peptide amphiphile is reported by João Borges, João F. Mano, and co‐workers in article number 1605122, through combination of self‐assembly and a layer‐by‐layer approach. The peptide amphiphile‐ending supramolecular nanostructures demonstrate to be a privileged environment for cells, constituting promising biomimetic nanoplatforms for biomedical and healthcare applications.
