Abstract
The invention described herein provides novel ampiphilic compounds that self-assemble into a hydrogel composition useful for treating wounds, including chronic wounds and diabetic wounds. The compounds of the invention have structural characteristics, such as hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties, that enable self-assembly into discrete nanostructures, which then entangle to form the hydrogel. Also provided are methods for treating wounds.
