Helical Peptide Nanofibers: Controlled Lengthwise Assembly of Helical Peptide Nanofibers to Modulate CD8+ T‐Cell Responses (Adv. Mater. 39/2020)
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: In nanofibers composed of self-assembling helical peptides, “capping” peptides can limit fiber growth and influence the character of immune responses raised by the materials. In article number 2003310, Joel H. Collier and co-workers design short peptides such that they self-assemble into immunologically active helical nanofibers. The lengths of these fibers, tailorable by the incorporation of structure-modifying peptides within the assemblies, influence the character of the immune responses they elicit.
