Elastomeric protein-based biomaterials, produced from elastin derivatives, are widely investigated as promising tissue engineering scaffolds due to their remarkable properties including substantial extensibility, long-term stability, self-assembly, high resilience upon stretching, low energy loss, and excellent biological activity. These elastomers are processed from different sources of soluble elastin such as animal-derived soluble elastin, recombinant human tropoelastin, and elastin-like polypeptides into various forms including three dimensional (3D) porous hydrogels, elastomeric films, and fibrous electrospun scaffolds. Elastin-based biomaterials have shown great potential for the engineering of elastic tissues such as skin, lung and vasculature. In this review, the synthesis and properties of various elastin-based elastomers with their applications in tissue engineering are described.
由弹性蛋白衍生物制成的基于弹性蛋白的生物材料,因其具有显著特性,包括高延展性、长期稳定性、自组装性、拉伸时的高弹性、低能量损失和出色的生物活性,而被广泛研究作为有前景的组织工程支架。这些弹性体由不同来源的可溶性弹性蛋白加工而成,如动物源性可溶性弹性蛋白、重组人原弹性蛋白和弹性蛋白样多肽,并加工成各种形式,包括三维(3D)多孔水凝胶、弹性体薄膜和静电纺丝纤维支架。基于弹性蛋白的生物材料在皮肤、肺和血管等弹性组织工程中显示出巨大潜力。在这篇综述中,描述了各种基于弹性蛋白的弹性体的合成、特性及其在组织工程中的应用。
