摘要
Enzymatic formation of supramolecular nanofibers is demonstrated as a novel approach to induce intracellular hydrogelation and control the fate of cells or cellular functions, which can lead to a new paradigm for developing biomaterials to manage cellular artificial nanostructures (CAN), understand cellular functions beyond the molecular level, and create novel therapeutics.
