Peptidic Hydrogels - In-Situ Gelling Polymers: For Biomedical Applications - page 141

delivering encapsulated payloads, some peptide hydrogels can be injected as solids
without need of external stimuli or interactions to reform into a solid similar to the
preinjected material. It is clear that the future is bright for the discovery of new
peptide molecules to make new hydrogel materials with both designed properties
as well as unanticipated, excellent properties.
