Injectable silk fibroin peptide nanofiber hydrogel composite scaffolds for cartilage regeneration

Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is essential for cartilage regeneration, but its susceptibility to enzymatic denaturation and high cost limit its application. Herein, we report Ac-LIANAKGFEFEFKFK-NH2 (LKP), a self-assembled peptide nanofiber hydrogel that can mimic the function of TGF-β1. The...
