An Engineered Living Material With Pro‐Angiogenic Activity Inducible by Near‐Infrared Light
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.NIR‐responsive engineered living materials (ELMs) for controlled angiogenesis: Near‐infrared (800 nm) light activates engineered probiotic bacteria within alginate‐based living materials to secrete a blood vessel‐regenerating protein. The released protein promotes pro‐angiogenic effects in endothelial networks and chick chorioallantoic membranes.
