  • Discussion of self-assembling peptide hydrogels as 'smart' materials.
  • Exploration of rational design principles for peptide sequences to control material properties and cellular interactions.

    • Main Results:

    • Established materials have shown success in forming soft connective tissue and new dentin post-transplantation.
    • Self-assembling peptide hydrogels offer tunable properties like stiffness and mineralization induction.
    • Customization includes incorporating cell adhesion motifs, enzyme-cleavable sites, and growth factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Tailor-made scaffolds are essential for specific tissue engineering applications.
    • Self-assembling peptide hydrogels provide a versatile platform for creating customized matrices.
    • Combining inductive scaffolds with stem cells holds promise for optimizing dentin-pulp complex regeneration.
