Abstract

Here, we report that a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc)-modified taurine (Fmoc-Tau) can act as a hydrogelator. The supramolecular hydrogels of Fmoc-Tau were constructed through the self-assembly to form self-assembled fibrous structures under physiologically relevant aqueous conditions. Fluorescence microscopy was employed to investigate the accumulation of basic fibroblast growth factors along the self-assembled fibrous structures.
