Thermoresponsive Polypeptide Fused L‐Asparaginase with Mitigated Immunogenicity and Enhanced Efficacy in Treating Hematologic Malignancies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
L‐Asparaginase (ASP) is well‐known for its excellent efficacy in treating hematological malignancies. Unfortunately, the intrinsic shortcomings of ASP, namely high immunogenicity, severe toxicity, short half‐life, and poor stability, restrict its ...

Cell Adhesion by Design: Engineering Tissue Culture Scaffolds With Adhesion Cues

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In scaffold‐based tissue engineering, the matrix should provide adequate adhesion cues for cell attachment, spreading, and function. Given the multitude of adhesion receptors and the diversity of scaffolds, there are many approaches to render scaffolds adhesive, even though they are not all equivalent.

Improvement of physical properties of calcium phosphate cement by elastin-like polypeptide supplementation

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are synthetic bioactive cements widely used as hard tissue substitutes. Critical limitations of use include their poor mechanical properties and poor anti-washout behaviour.

Drug delivery to solid tumors by elastin-like polypeptides [PDF]

open access: yesAdvanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2010
Thermally responsive elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are a promising class of recombinant biopolymers for the delivery of drugs and imaging agents to solid tumors via systemic or local administration. This article reviews four applications of ELPs to drug delivery, with each delivery mechanism designed to best exploit the relationship between the ...

Harnessing blood clot as a native scaffold for orchestrating tissue repairs and regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The blood clot, owing to its dynamic composition and unique microenvironment, holds significant yet underappreciated potential for tissue engineering. This review systematically summarizes the pathophysiology of clot formation, the key regulatory factors shaping its microenvironment, and its applications in both pre‐clinical and clinical settings ...

Proteolytic remodelling of the extracellular matrix by pericytes

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Pericytes are specialised perivascular cells intimately connected with endothelial cells and essential for the maintenance of vascular beds. They contribute to the formation and remodelling of the extracellular matrix by actively secreting proteases and protease inhibitors.

Elastin‐Like Polypeptides as a Purification Tag for Recombinant Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Protocols in Protein Science, 2010
AbstractThis unit presents a recombinant protein purification method that employs an elastin‐like polypeptide (ELP) as a purification tag. ELPs undergo a sharp and reversible phase transition when heated above their lower critical solution temperature.

Elastin-like Polypeptide Diblock Copolymers Self-Assemble into Weak Micelles

open access: yes, 2015
The self-assembly of synthetic diblock copolymers has been extensively studied experimentally and theoretically. In contrast, self-assembly of polypeptide diblock copolymers has so far been mostly studied experimentally.
