Elastin-derived peptides as building-blocks for novel material functionalities
, 2015 Elastin-derived peptides are gaining increasing interest as potential biomaterials. Short elastin-derived peptides are able to self-assemble in fibrils as the entire elastin protein.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1119-1131, April 2025.Abstract Large clinical data underscore that heart failure is independently associated to an increased risk of negative cognitive outcome and dementia. Emerging evidence suggests that cerebral hypoperfusion, stemming from reduced cardiac output and vascular pathology, may contribute to the largely overlapping vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease ...

FlexMat, EarlyView.In this work, we first examine the limitations of surgical repair and stenting, including migration, granulation, mucus plugging, and infection. We then translate these failures into engineering constraints involving geometry, mechanics, fixation, degradation, junctional stress, and remodeling.
