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.

Tropoelastin Synthesis in Fetal Bovine Tissues

Collagen and Related Research, 1986
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

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.

Polymorphisms in the human tropoelastin gene modify in vitro self-assembly and mechanical properties of elastin-like polypeptides. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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 ...

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

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 ...

Adipose-derived stromal cell secreted factors induce the elastogenesis cascade within 3D aortic smooth muscle cell constructs

Matrix Biology Plus, 2019
Objective: Elastogenesis within the medial layer of the aortic wall involves a cascade of events orchestrated primarily by smooth muscle cells, including transcription of elastin and a cadre of elastin chaperone matricellular proteins, deposition and ...

One‐Step Covalent Biofunctionalization of Tubular Constructs Enabled by Surface‐Embedded Radicals

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 22, November 19, 2025.
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.
