The Q11 peptides have the ability to drive the gradated assembly of N- or C-terminal β-sheet structure (β-tail) fused recombinant proteins. We first investigated the assembly properties of Q11 and assessed its stability under varying pH and temperature conditions by combining Q11 with two β-tail fused fluorescent proteins. The results showed that Q11 enhanced the tolerance of the fluorescent proteins to changes in pH and temperature. Building upon these findings, we designed collagen-like proteins and Sonic Hedgehog-fused recombinant proteins (CLP-Shh) that could be assembled with Q11 to form peptide-protein supramolecular hydrogels. These hydrogels demonstrated the ability to improve cell viability and migration and upregulate key markers of cell growth. Further in vivo studies revealed that the Q11-driven supramolecular hydrogel effectively enhances diabetic wound healing and epidermal regeneration by promoting the expression of epidermal-related proteins and immune factors.

Peripheral nerves have been shown to play an important role in wound healing, with loss or damage to these nerves often leading to impaired healing and the formation of chronic nonhealing wounds. Previous research has suggested that sensory nerves secrete trophic factors that can regulate wound healing, including fibroblast activation; however, the direct cell-cell interaction between nerves and fibroblasts has not been extensively studied.

This model supports the long-term viability of multiple cell types while allowing for direct contact between sensory nerve cells and dermal fibroblasts. Using the IFlowPlate, we demonstrate that co-culture of dorsal root ganglia with dermal fibroblasts increases fibroblast proliferation, collagen and α-smooth muscle actin expression, and secretion of pro-wound healing factors, suggesting that nerves can promote wound healing by modulating fibroblast activation.
