Peptide K

Peptide K is a self-assembling peptide fiber used for fabricating fibrous nanocomposite hydrogels. These hydrogels possess a dynamic network adaptable to cells, enhancing cell-matrix and cell-cell interactions. Consequently, they significantly promote the mechanotransduction, metabolic energy, and osteogenic function of encapsulated stem cells.
