SAPNS repair for the animal brain. (a) Molecular model of the RADA16-I molecular building block. (b) Molecular model of numerous RADA16-I molecules undergo self assembly to form well ordered nanofibers with the hydrophobic alanine sandwich inside and hydrophilic residues on the outside. (c) The SAPNS is examined by using scanning electron microscopy. (Scale bar, 500 nm.)
