Newly developed peptide nanogels provide native cues to human dermal fibroblasts as well as mouse myoblast cells and promote proliferation and extensive network formation in vitro is presented. The results represent an improvement in the fabrication of dermal grafts as well as 3D skin models. In addition, the application of these ultrashort peptide nanogels on full-thickness wounds in a minipig model demonstrated biocompatibility with the minipig skin tissue, as the peptide nanogels did not trigger wound inflammation. Thus, they can be considered as a safe biomaterial for topical applications. It is shown that both peptides are printable. The ability to print peptides and the return of high cell viability within the printed construct will open up the possibility of 3D bioprinting of different cell types in future.
