Abstract
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to compositions, methods, and systems (e.g., platforms) comprising the same, the systems comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of micro- and macro-hydrogels that are formed from polypeptide micelles. The systems have enhanced mechanical properties that can be useful in a wide variety of applications, can be used for controlled release of drug-loaded micelles, and can be designed to reversibly assemble and disassemble on demand.
