RADA16, which forms nanofiber networks under physiological conditions, is a self-assembling peptide that can provide mechanical support for tissue regeneration and reportedly has diverse roles in wound healing. It is used as an extracellular matrix that provides mechanical support for wound healing and tissue regeneration and can also be used as a hemostatic agent in the clinical setting.
