Abstract Elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), which derive from one of the repetitive domains
found in natural elastin, have been intensively studied in the last few years from several …

The emergence of the new scientific field known as nanomedicine is being catalyzed by
multiple improvements in nanoscience techniques and significant progress in materials …

The past few decades have witnessed the development of novel naturally inspired
biomimetic materials, such as polysaccharides and proteins. Likewise, the seemingly …

Elastin-like recombinamers have grown in popularity in the field of protein-inspired
biomimetic materials and have found widespread use in biomedical applications. Modern …

The use of recombinant elastin-like materials, or elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs), in drug-
delivery applications is reviewed in this work. Although ELRs were initially used in similar …

Biocompatibility studies, especially innate immunity induction, in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity,
and fibrosis, are often lacking for many novel biomaterials including recombinant protein …

The topic of self-assembled structures based on elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs, ie,
elastin-like polymers recombinantly bio-produced) has released a noticeable amount of …

In the development of tissue engineering strategies to replace, remodel, regenerate, or
support damaged tissue, the development of bioinspired biomaterials that recapitulate the …

Recombinantly-engineered elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) possess many of the favourable
attributes of the native elastin protein, making them an attractive option for designing …

In this chapter, we describe two methods for bio-producing recombinant repetitive
polypeptide polymers for use in biomedical devices. These polymers, known as elastin-like …
