Collagen and elastin represent the two most predominant proteins in the body and are
responsible for modulating important biological and mechanical properties. Thus, the focus …

Elastin is a versatile elastic protein that dominates flexible tissues capable of recoil, and
facilitates commensurate cell interactions in these tissues in all higher vertebrates. Elastin's …

The fundamental skin role is to supply a supportive barrier to protect body against harmful
agents and injuries. Three layers of skin including epidermis, dermis and hypodermis form a …

Proteins display an essential role in numerous natural systems due to their structural and
biological properties. Given their unique properties, proteins have been thoroughly …

The use of biomaterials, such as hydrogels, as neural cell delivery devices is becoming
more common in areas of research such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord …

We present an electrospun synthetic human elastin: collagen composite scaffold aimed at
dermal tissue engineering. The panel of electrospun human tropoelastin and ovine type I …

Elastin provides structural integrity, biological cues and persistent elasticity to a range of
important tissues, including the vasculature and lungs. Its critical importance to normal …

Polymer hydrogels consist of a three-dimensional (3D) structure with cross-linked networks
rich in a huge amount of water through hydrogen-bonding interactions, making them highly …

Over the last decades, three-dimensional (3D) organotypic skin models have received
enormous attention as alternative models to in vivo animal models and in vitro two …

The mechanical stability, elasticity, inherent bioactivity, and self‐assembly properties of
elastin make it a highly attractive candidate for the fabrication of versatile biomaterials. The …
