A supramolecular hydrogel as a carrier to deliver microRNA into the encapsulated cells.

A supramolecular hydrogel formed by dipeptide Gly-Ala linked with biphenyl-substituted tetrazole serves not only as a 3D matrix for live cells, but also as a carrier to deliver microRNA into the encapsulated cells.
