Collagen type I (Col-I) is unique due to its high biocompatibility in human tissue. Despite its
availability from various sources, Col-I naturally mimics the extracellular matrix (ECM) and …

Within the canonical repertoire of the amino acid involved in protein biogenesis, proline
plays a unique role as an amino acid presenting a modified backbone rather than a side …

Collagens provide the building blocks for diverse tissues and organs. Furthermore, these
proteins act as signaling molecules that control cell behavior during organ development …

The cyclic side chain of the amino acid proline confers unique conformational restraints on
its backbone and side chain dihedral angles. This affects two equilibria—one at the …

Recently, nature-inspired materials have received substantial attention in the scientific
community due to their intriguing characteristics, such as the ability to tailor or mimic stimuli …

The rising demand for novel cosmeceutical ingredients has highlighted peptides as a
significant category. Based on the collagen turnover modulation properties of SA1-III, a …

The limited solubility of collagen is one of the main limitations to achieving electrospun mats
