The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a 3-dimensional structure and an essential component in
all human tissues. It is comprised of varying proteins, including collagens, elastin, and …

Nowadays, there are still numerous challenges for well-known biomedical applications,
such as tissue engineering (TE), wound healing and controlled drug delivery, which must be …

Proteins are nature's primary building blocks for the construction of sophisticated molecular
machines and dynamic materials, ranging from protein complexes such as photosystem II …

Engineering protein and peptide-based materials for drug delivery applications has gained
momentum due to their biochemical and biophysical properties over synthetic materials …

This review discusses one-dimensional supramolecular polymers that form in aqueous
media. First, naturally occurring supramolecular polymers are described, in particular …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human
elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase …

Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer‐based materials with high water content and physical
characteristics that resemble the native extracellular matrix. Because of their remarkable …

The development of drug delivery systems using nanoparticles as carriers for small and
large therapeutic molecules remains a rapidly growing area of research. The advantages of …

Nanoparticles are particles that range in size from about 1–1000 nanometers in diameter,
about one thousand times smaller than the average cell in a human body. Their small size …

Degradable polymers (both biomacromolecules and several synthetic polymers) for
biomedical applications have been promising very much in the recent past due to their low …
