In natural systems, temperature‐induced assembly of biomolecules can lead to the
formation of distinct assembly states, created out of the same set of starting compounds …

Elastin comprises hydrophobic repetitive sequences, such as Val-Pro-Gly-Val-Gly, which are
thought to be important for the temperature-dependent reversible self-association …

Elastin is an elastomeric, self‐assembling extracellular matrix protein with potential for use
in biomaterials applications. Here, we compare the microstructural and tensile properties of …

Peptide amphiphiles (PAs) self-assemble nanostructures with potential applications in drug
delivery and tissue engineering. Some PAs share environmentally responsive behavior with …

The formation of a suitable extracellular matrix (ECM) that promotes cell adhesion,
organization, and proliferation is essential within biomaterial scaffolds for tissue engineering …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are a class of biopolymers consisting of the pentameric
repeat (VPGαG) n based on the sequence of mammalian tropoelastin that display a …

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and glycoproteins are vital components of the extracellular
matrix, directing cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration and tissue homeostasis …

We developed rubber-like elastomeric materials using a natural elastin derived sequence
and genetic engineering to create precisely defined elastin-like polypeptides. The coiled …

Molecular assembly of protein and peptide is highly specific and frequently occurs in
biological systems. Collagen, which is the most abundant component in extracellular matrix …

Biomaterial design in tissue engineering aims to identify appropriate cellular
microenvironments in which cells can grow and guide new tissue formation. Despite the …
