… Here we introduce a new concept of transient supra molecular
networks where the macroscopic rheological and materials
properties are tuned by controlled microscopic kinetics of the
supramolecular interactions being responsible for the network
formation. All of these properties will lead to the ideal material
for protein delivery in regenerative medical applications.
As proof-of-concept we show the use of this system in kidney
regeneration.
