Protein‐Engineered Elastin Fibers as Building Blocks for The Textile‐Based Assembly of Tissue Equivalents (Adv. Funct. Mater. 24/2024).

The article titled "Protein-Engineered Elastin Fibers as Building Blocks for The Textile-Based Assembly of Tissue Equivalents" discusses the development of protein-engineered elastin fibers with customized molecular composition and microstructure. These fibers are autoclavable and do not have any negative effects on their mechanical or biological properties. They can be used to create hierarchically organized structures through textile-based assembly, opening up new possibilities for medical textiles and long-lasting stretch fabrics. The authors of the article are Alicia Fernández-Colino, Ikram El Maachi, Alexander Loewen, Sergio Acosta, Stephan Rütten, J. Carlos Rodríguez-Cabello, Stefan Jockenhoevel. [Extracted from the article]
