A Sustainable Biotechnology Approach for Mineral Separation
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.

Mineralizing Elastin‐Like Protein Microgels
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.

Tropoelastin Synthesis in Fetal Bovine Tissues
Tropoelastin was examined in bovine lung, aortic and ligament tissues using both organ culture and cell-free translation systems. The bovine tissues synthesized two tropoelastin polypeptides of approximately 70,000 and 68,000 daltons. Two polypeptides were also seen amongst the translation products directed by mRNAs isolated from each of the individual

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior
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 ...

Polymorphisms in the human tropoelastin gene modify in vitro self-assembly and mechanical properties of elastin-like polypeptides. [PDF]
Elastin is a major structural component of elastic fibres that provide properties of stretch and recoil to tissues such as arteries, lung and skin. Remarkably, after initial deposition of elastin there is normally no subsequent turnover of this protein ...

One‐Step Covalent Biofunctionalization of Tubular Constructs Enabled by Surface‐Embedded Radicals
Uniform covalent biofunctionalization of tubular constructs is achieved in one step using surface‐embedded radicals generated by a novel plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) technology. This scalable, solvent‐free technology advances bioengineered tubes for tissue engineering and implant applications.
