Peptide-based microcapsules obtained by self-assembly and microfluidics as controlled environments for cell culture

Peptides are excellent building blocks to form precise nanostructures by self-assembly. They can selfassemble into fibril nanostructures, thus recreating some of the architectural features of the natural extracellular matrix. Here, we used a microfluidic approach to drive the self-assembly of peptid...
