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 ...

Matrix: a complex amalgam of structures and functions in tumor microenvironment
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1552-1569, October 2025.The matrix is a dynamic, intricate three‐dimensional mesh of biomolecules with both structural and functional properties. This review deals with the complexity of this ‘molecular amalgam’ in the tumor microenvironment and highlights its importance in the maintenance and evolution of tumors by describing certain matrix biomolecules, such as ...

Amyloidogenesis of proteolytic fragments of human elastin [PDF]
, 2013 Some polypeptides encoded by the C-terminal region of human tropoelastin gene have been demonstrated to be amyloidogenic in vitro. The biological relevance of this finding is still under investigation given that only limited evidence concerning the ...

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 ...
