A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 50, December 9, 2025.Silver‑binding peptides are first identified through phage‐display screening, and then engineered into multifunctional and responsive peptides or proteins. These tailored biomolecules can selectively capture and aggregate silver particles or ions from complex mixtures, enabling rapid and efficient silver separation and recovery.

Th2-predominant inflammation and blockade of IFN-γ signaling induce aneurysms in allografted aortas [PDF]
, 2014 Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) cause death due to complications related to expansion and rupture. The underlying mechanisms that drive AAA development remain largely unknown. We recently described evidence for a shift toward T helper type 2 (Th2) cell

Mineralizing Elastin‐Like Protein Microgels
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, Volume 113, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Mineralized tissues, such as bone and enamel are fundamental to the structure and function of organisms, with a complex interplay between their organic and inorganic components. Organized mineralization is crucial for both the tissues of living organisms and engineered materials.

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior
Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 30, November 25, 2025.Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 41, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract Elastin‐like polypeptides (ELPs) are recombinant protein‐like polymers whose macromolecular structure can be precisely controlled through genetic manipulation of their sequence and length. Their lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behavior facilitates purification via chromatography‐free techniques and can be explored for self ...

Architecture of the Subendothelial Elastic Fibers of Small Blood Vessels and Variations in Vascular Type and Size [PDF]
, 2013 Most blood vessels contain elastin that provides the vessels with the resilience and flexibility necessary to control hemodynamics. Pathophysiological hemodynamic changes affect the remodeling of elastic components, but little is known about their ...
