Abstract
Over the past two decades, there has been significant effort to develop soft materials exploiting the self-assembly of short peptides for biomedical applications including application as 3D cell niches. Here I will describe our platform technology for the design of 3D scaffolds whose properties including mechanical strength, function and response can be tailored to accommodate different cells’ needs and direct the differentiation of stem cells into a variety of specific lineages. This will have demonstrated via a number of specific pre-clinical applications.
Series This talk is part of the Three-dimensional cell culture: Innovations in tissue scaffolds and biomimetic systems series.
