Elastomeric Recombinant Protein-based Biomaterials.
Elastomeric protein-based biomaterials, produced from elastin derivatives, are widely investigated as promising tissue engineering scaffolds due to their remarkable properties including substantial extensibility, long-term stability, self-assembly, high resilience upon stretching, low energy loss, and excellent biological activity. These elastomers are processed from different sources of solubl...
متن کاملHydrophilic elastomeric biomaterials based on resilin-like polypeptides.
The production of complex, yet well defined materials offers many opportunities in regenerative medicine, in which the mechanical and biological properties of the matrix must meet stringent requirements. Here we report the recombinant production of modular polypeptidic materials, based on the highly resilient protein resilin, which are equipped with multiple biologically active domains. The rec...
متن کاملGeometric characterization and simulation of planar layered elastomeric fibrous biomaterials.
Many important biomaterials are composed of multiple layers of networked fibers. While there is a growing interest in modeling and simulation of the mechanical response of these biomaterials, a theoretical foundation for such simulations has yet to be firmly established. Moreover, correctly identifying and matching key geometric features is a critically important first step for performing relia...
متن کاملTunable and modular assembly of polypeptides and polypeptide-hybrid biomaterials
Biomaterials are materials that are specically designed to be in contact with biological systems and have for a long time been used in medicine. Examples of biomaterials range from sophisticated prostheses used for replacing outworn body parts to ordinary contact lenses. Currently it is possible to create biomaterials that can e.g. specically interact with cells or respond to certain stimuli....
متن کاملComputer simulation of polypeptide adsorption on model biomaterials.
When biomaterials are inserted in a biological environment, for instance in a body implant, proteins do quickly adsorb on the exposed surface. Such process is of fundamental importance, since it directs the subsequent cell adhesion. Here we review recent advances in this field obtained with molecular simulations. While coarse-grained models can provide important general results, as it has long ...
