Abstract: Abstract: Self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold(SAPNS)has recently been widely studied as a kind of biomaterial scaffold which has been applied extensively in the fields of 3 dimension cell culture,tissue repair and regeneration and so on. Based on the introduction to the current research in SAPNS, this paper expatiates on the research progress,existing problems and prospects of SAPNS’s applications in tissue engineering according to the sequences of ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm derived tissues.

Key words: self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold, tissue engineering, application
