Biomaterials With ‘Frankenstein Proteins’ Help Heal Tissue

October 15, 2018 Syndicated 0

Biomed engineers have demonstrated that, by injecting an artificial protein made from a solution of ordered and disordered segments, a solid scaffold forms in response to body heat, and in a few weeks seamlessly integrates into tissue — allowing them precise control of materials in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
