Research Abstract	Self-assembling peptide gels are now the focus of public attention as new medical materials. However, conventional self-assembling peptide gels have a very low pH (about 3-4) retaining the potential to harm inner cells. Okayama University has developed the world's first neutral self-assembling peptide gel. I compared the wound healing effect of newly developed self-assembling peptide gel and conventional self-assembling peptide gels.
