  • SELF-ASSEMBLING PEPTIDES, NANOFIBERS, AND METHODS OF USE
    Publication number: 20240083946
    Abstract: Compositions of anionic and cationic peptides which co-assemble under suitable conditions to form peptide nanostructures, methods of assembling the peptide nanostructures, and methods of use of the peptide nanostructures in hydrogels and as vaccines and vaccine adjuvants. The peptide nanostructures demonstrate stability once self-assembled and are biocompatible and have therapeutic functionality, particularly when equipped with additional functional features such as ligands, fluorophores, antigens, drugs, or other bioactive compounds.
