Self-assembling peptides (SAPs), owing to their sequence programmability, supramolecular assembly capability, modular functional integration, and environmental responsiveness, provide a versatile platform for constructing designable and controllable bioactive coatings. This review systematically summarizes the unique advantages of SAPs in bioactive coating construction and discusses their design logic from three key dimensions: peptide sequence design, assembly behavior, and interfacial presentation. Recent advances in SAP-based coatings are further reviewed in the contexts of anti-infection and mineralization protection, inflammatory microenvironment modulation, tissue-specific integration, and regenerative repair.

Although gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) hydrogels are widely used in regenerative medicine due to their biocompatibility and tunable physicochemical properties, they intrinsically lack antifibrotic and antibacterial functionality. Herein, we report a dual-functional GelMA-based hydrogel (GelMA-AMP/AFP) achieved by the covalent co-conjugation of an antifibrotic peptide (DR8) and a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide (P9-4), enabling simultaneous regulation of fibrotic responses and bacterial colonization within a single biomaterial platform. The peptide-functionalized GelMA hydrogels preserved their porous microarchitecture, mechanical integrity, and swelling behavior while providing a sustained peptide release profile over 14 days. In a TGF-β1-induced <i>in vitro</i> fibrotic fibroblast model, the dual-functional hydrogel significantly suppressed fibroblast proliferation and migration, reduced collagen deposition, and downregulated key profibrotic markers, including COL1A1, ACTA2, FN1, and TGF-β1, at both gene and protein levels. In parallel, the same GelMA-AMP/AFP platform effectively inhibited bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation by multidrug-resistant pathogens, including methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> (MRSA) and multidrug-resistant <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> (MDRPA), without inducing cytotoxicity. This study reports a GelMA-based biomaterial to simultaneously integrate covalently conjugated antifibrotic and antimicrobial peptides, thereby achieving concurrent suppression of fibrosis and inhibition of biofilm formation within a single material system, <i>in vitro</i>.
