Genetically engineered silk-based composite biomaterials functionalized with fi...
Pereira, Ana Margarida Macedo Bernardes; Machado, Raul; Costa, André Manuel Abreu; Ribeiro, Artur J.; Collins, Tony; Gomes, Andreia C; Leonor, I. B.[Excerpt] Recombinant protein-based polymers (rPBPs) are an emerging class of biopolymers inspired by Nature and produced by synthetic protein biotechnology approaches. Due to their exceptional physical-chemical and biological characteristics, as well as their ability to be customized for specific applications, rPBPs have been explored for the development of advanced biomaterials [1]. Within rPBPs, silk-like po...
