Current Trends and Future Prospects of Integrating Electrospinning With 3D Printing Techniques for Mimicking Bone Extracellular Matrix Scaffolds

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1481-1504, 15 March 2025.
ABSTRACT This article presents a review of the recent findings on the combination of electrospun nanofibers and three‐dimensional (3D)‐printed structures for extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. We explore the synergy between electrospinning (ES), which produces highly porous, fibrous structures from materials like collagen

High-yield recombinant expression and purification of marginally soluble, short elastin-like polypeptides

BioTechniques, 2016
The protocol described here is designed as an extension of existing techniques for creating elastin-like polypeptides. It allows for the expression and purification of elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) constructs that are poorly expressed or have very low ...

Topology‐Encoded Charge Polarity Governs Multiphase Organization in Intrinsically Disordered Protein Polymer Condensates

Small, EarlyView.
Electrostatic topology is shown to program phase separation and internal organization in thermoresponsive intrinsically disordered protein polymer (IDPP) condensates. By comparing oppositely charged IDPPs with a covalent diblock, chain connectivity is revealed to control charge compensation, dense‐phase micropolarity, miscibility, and apparent acid ...

Targeting PCSK9 in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells: An Effective Strategy to Suppress Ferroptosis and Attenuate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Progression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
PCSK9 aggravates AAA by promoting ferroptosis in VSMCs. In the pathological AAA environment, PCSK9 upregulation triggers ferritinophagy‐dependent degradation of FTH1, leading to Fe2+ release, triggering lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis, exacerbating AAA.

GLGPGVG derived from bovine elastin repairs UV‐induced photoaging in human foreskin fibroblasts and its potential bioavailability

eFood
Studies have indicated the potential of oral elastin hydrolysates in repairing photoaging skin. To reveal the underlying mechanism, this study examined how two elastin‐derived peptides (Gly‐Leu‐Gly‐Pro‐Gly‐Val‐Gly [GLGPGVG] and Pro‐Tyr [PY]) repair ...

Intracellular construction of topology-controlled polypeptide nanostructures with diverse biological functions

Nature Communications, 2017
The intracellular topology of a nanostructure plays a major role in its interactions with the cell and accordingly, its biological applications. Here, the authors design peptides that intracellularly polymerize into elastin-like polypeptides and assemble
