Bioorthogonal Elastin-like Polypeptide Scaffolds for Immunoassay Enhancement [PDF]

open access: yesACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2018
Artificial multiprotein complexes are sought after reagents for biomolecular engineering. A current limiting factor is the paucity of molecular scaffolds which allow for site-specific multicomponent assembly. Here, we address this limitation by synthesizing bioorthogonal elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) scaffolds containing periodic noncanonical l ...

Application of Thermally Responsive Elastin-like Polypeptide Fused to a Lactoferrin-derived Peptide for Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

open access: yesMolecules, 2009
A well characterized, peptide derivative of bovine lactoferrin, L12, has been shown to possess anticancer properties in multiple cell lines. However, adverse side effects in normal tissues and poor plasma kinetics that hinder the clinical effectiveness ...

Elastin-like Polypeptide-Based Bioink: A Promising Alternative for 3D Bioprinting

open access: yes, 2021
Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting offers a great alternative to traditional techniques in tissue reconstruction, based on seeding cells manually into a scaffold, to better reproduce organs’ complexity.

Elastin-Like Polypeptides for Biomedical Applications [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2020
Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are stimulus-responsive biopolymers derived from human elastin. Their unique properties—including lower critical solution temperature phase behavior and minimal immunogenicity—make them attractive materials for a variety of biomedical applications.

Pathway‐Dependent Co‐Assembly of Elastin‐Like Polypeptides [PDF]

open access: yesSmall, 2021
AbstractIn natural systems, temperature‐induced assembly of biomolecules can lead to the formation of distinct assembly states, created out of the same set of starting compounds, based on the heating trajectory followed. Until now it has been difficult to achieve similar behavior in synthetic polymer mixtures.

Biodegradation of elastin‐like polypeptide nanoparticles [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Science, 2012
AbstractProtein polymers are repetitive polypeptides produced by ribosomal biosynthetic pathways; furthermore, they offer emerging opportunities in drug and biopharmaceutical delivery. As for any polymer, biodegradation is one of the most important determinants affecting how a protein polymer can be utilized in the body.

Elastin-like polypeptides in drug delivery [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2016
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 ways to other, more conventional kinds of polymeric carriers, their unique properties soon gave rise to systems of unparalleled functionality and efficiency, with the ...

Construction and application of elastin like polypeptide containing IL-4 receptor targeting peptide. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Various human solid tumors highly express IL-4 receptors which amplify the expression of some of anti-apoptotic proteins, preventing drug-induced cancer cell death. Thus, IL-4 receptor targeted drug delivery can possibly increase the therapeutic efficacy
