This study demonstrates growing macroscopic functional human tissues on 3D-printed peptide hydrogels, enabling centimeter-scale neural organoids and directional axonal communication.

This study shows that computationally designed proteins can template and confine hydroxyapatite mineralization, providing a framework for programmable protein-guided mineralization.

This study designs proteins to control the phase, form, and function of metal-carbonate materials, demonstrating their use as electrocatalysts for alkaline water splitting.

This paper designs Ca2+ channels with specific selectivity filter geometries using a bottom-up approach, showing higher Ca2+ conductance and structural accuracy.

The paper designs collagenous assemblies using a peptide self-assembly system and solves their structure with cryo-EM, revealing a non-twisting triple helix conformation that differs from the canonical right-handed triple helix.

This study explores the sequence-structure relationship in collagen-like peptides, designing new peptides that form diverse quaternary structures beyond triple helices.

This study develops a method to create aligned peptide nanofibers and shows how their alignment affects hydrogel properties and cell behavior.
