Self-assembling tetrameric peptides allow in situ 3D bioprinting under physiological conditions.

The work was supported by funding from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). Synthesis of IVFK and IVZK peptides was first performed at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, A*Star, Singapore. The authors would like to acknowledge Prof. Takashi Gojobori, Hajime Ohyanagi and Dr. Katsuhiko Mineta for providing help in analyzing the RNA sequencing data. Visiting student and scholarship holder from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes Ms. Annemarie Kehl, Georg-August University Goettingen, Germany, kindly measured the CD spectra. The authors would like to acknowledge KAUST’s Core Labs for supporting the sequencing and microscopy analysis.
