Bioengineers develop highly elastic biomaterial for better wound healing
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have developed a protein-based gel that can mimic the properties of elastic tissue when exposed to light. The photocrosslinkable elastin-like polypeptide-based (ELP) hydrogel is formed through use of a light-activated polypeptide. Exposure to light…
