title: Something between the amazing functions and various morphologies of self-assembling peptides materials in the medical field.
abstract: In recent years, there are a growing number of researches in the field of self-assembling peptides. Due to their diversity structures and the promising applications, self-assembling peptides have already become the focus of studies in the fields of materials and biological science. Some amazing functions of these peptides in the medical field caught our attention, such as tissue repair and regeneration, therapeutic delivery, haemostasis, antimicrobial and so on. There are different morphologies of self-assembling peptides in different functions. This review provides an overview of the relationship between some amazing functions and various morphologies of self-assembling peptides principally. Furthermore, the mechanisms of peptide self-assembly are also discussed.
