New design of bioactive peptide nanofibers keeping both temperature reversibility and stiffness control

A collaboration mainly led by scientists from Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) in Japan has developed a new method of molecular design to control both temperature reversibility and stiffness of nanofibers that are gel-forming peptides. The peptide nanofiber hydrogel can be used as biomedical material. This method will allow the peptide nanofibers for more biomedical applicable.
