Elastin‐like polypeptides adopt complex supramolecular structures, showing either a
hydrophobic or a hydrophilic surface, depending on their surrounding environment and the …

Elastin is an extracellular matrix protein polymer that imparts tissues with the ability to
endure stretch-recoil cycles. The formation of elastin has been explored through its major …

Elastic tissue equivalence is a vital requirement of synthetic materials proposed for many
resilient, soft tissue engineering applications. Here we present a bioelastomer made from …

A peptide-based hydrogel sequence was computationally predicted from the Ala-rich cross-
linked domains of elastin. Three candidate peptides were subsequently synthesised and …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are artificial polypeptides with unique properties that make
them attractive as a biomaterial for tissue-engineered cartilage repair. ELPs are composed …

Taking inspiration from naturally-occurring proteins, scientists have created protein polymers
consisting of functional amino acid sequences that have evolved in nature. The functions of …

Electrospinning was employed to fabricate 3-D fiber networks from a recombinant
amphiphilic elastin-mimetic tri-block protein polymer and the effects of moderate thermal …

A class of designed self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffolds has been shown to be a
good biomimetic material in tissue engineering. Here, we specifically made a new peptide …

Multidomain peptides are a class of amphiphilic self-assembling peptides with a modular
ABA block motif in which the amphiphilic B block drives self-assembly while the flanking A …

A designer self-assembling peptide nanofiber scaffold has been systematically studied with
10 commonly used scaffolds in a several week study using neural stem cells (NSC), a …
