Revascularization plays a critical role in the healing of diabetic wounds. Accumulation advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and refractory multidrug resistant bacterial infection are two major barriers to revascularization, directly leading impaired Here, an artfully designed chiral gel dressing is fabricated (named as HA-LM2-RMR), which consists l-phenylalanine cationic hexapeptide coassembled helical nanofibers cross-linked with hyaluronic acid via hydrogen bonding. This possesses...
Exogenous neural stem cells (NSCs) have great potential to reconstitute damage spinal circuitry. However, regulating the metabolic reprogramming of NSCs for reliable nerve regeneration has been challenging. This report discusses biomimetic dextral hydrogel (DH) with right-handed nanofibers that specifically reprograms lipid metabolism NSCs, promoting their differentiation and rapid damaged axons. The underlying mechanism is intrinsic stereoselectivity between DH fatty acid-binding protein 5...
Self-sorting by supramolecular assembly involving homochiral building blocks is of vital importance in life systems, which allows the coexistence multiple species an orthogonal complex mixture to achieve respective biological functions simultaneously. However, self-sorting chiral molecules, typically remains a challenge artificial limiting function development materials.

Abstract Kinetic co‐assembly pathway induced chirality inversion along with morphology transition is of importance to understand biological processes, but still remains a challenge realize in artificial systems. Herein, helical nanofibers consisting phenylalanine‐based enantiomers (L/DPF) successfully transform into kinetically trapped architectures opposite helicity through kinetic pathway. By contrast, the co‐assemblies obtained by thermodynamic exhibit non‐helical structures. The...

Abstract Hypoxic injury poses a severe threat to cell survival. Activation of pro‐survival autophagy via autophagy‐inducing nanomaterials (AINMs) has emerged as one the most promising therapeutic strategies. However, internalized AINMs easily bind with intracellular lysosomes, resulting in disruptive effects on autophagic flux and limited effects.
