Self-assembled hydrogel fiber bundles from oppositely charged polyelectrolytes mimic micro-/nanoscale hierarchy of collagen
Fiber bundles are present in many tissues throughout the body. In most cases, collagen subunits spontaneously self-assemble into a fibrilar structure that provides ductility to bone and constitutes the basis of muscle contraction. Translating these natural architectural features into a biomimetic sc...
