TL;DR: It is shown that it is possible to use magnetic particles as actuators for the alignment of the polymer chains in order to obtain anisotropic hydrogels and the microstructural arrangement and mechanical properties of the resulting hydrogel are characterized.

TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of biocompatible and biodegradable hydrogels made with Fmoc-diphenylalanine (Fmoc)-FF) and RGD short peptides to which MNP were incorporated was studied in detail with physicochemical, mechanical, and biological methods.

TL;DR: In this article, two thermally stable insulin composite crystal formulations were obtained by crystallizing insulin in agarose and fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl-dialanine (Fmoc-AA) hydrogels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the early stages of the fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) self-assembly process with single-molecule resolution, the kinetics of fiber formation, the packaging of peptides within the fibers and the capacity of the peptides to reassemble after disruption (self-healing) in the presence of different metallic cations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the co-aggregation of different aromatic short peptides containing Fmoc- (fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl-) and Nap- (2-(naphthalen-2-yloxy)acetyl) groups having also different chirality.
