    摘要: This invention provides for compositions, methods and devices for rapidly converting silk fibroin solution into a silk fibroin gel using direct application of voltage, in a process called electrogelation. The silk fibroin gel may be reversibly converted back to liquid form by applying reverse voltage or may be converted further to β-sheet structure by applying shear force or other treatments. The electrogelated silk may be used as an extracted bulk gel, spray or stream of gel for processing into materials or devices, or may be used as silk gel coating to devices. Active agents may be embedded in the silk gel for various medical applications. This invention also provides for methods and compositions for preparing adhesive silk pH-gels. For example, the method comprises reducing pH level of a silk fibroin solution to increase the bulk or local proton concentration of the silk fibroin solution, thereby forming adhesive silk gels.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for forming an immobilized agent gradient within a 3-dimensional porous scaffold. A 3-dimensional scaffold formed from a biocompatible material is provided. The surface of the scaffold and/or the agent is activated so as to allow binding of the agent to the scaffold. The activated scaffold is contacted with a solution containing the agent. Contact with the solution is maintained for a sufficient period of time to allow diffusion of the solution through a portion of the scaffold, thereby forming a desired gradient of the agent through the 3-dimensional scaffold.

    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for forming an inorganic coating on a protein template. The method comprises contacting the template with an anionic polymer interface followed by an inorganic material for a sufficient period of time to allow mineralization of the inorganic material thus forming an inorganic coating on the template. Preferably, the coating is aligned.

    摘要: The present application relates to amphiphilic polypeptide materials, methods for making and using the same. Provided amphiphilic polypeptide materials are water-based and manufactured using all aqueous processing. Provided materials exhibit a capacity to encapsulate and store biologically active molecules or macromolecules. Such biologically active molecules or macromolecules retain their structure and the biological activity so that these biologically active molecules or macromolecules are not materially degraded, reduced, and/or inhibited by processing steps or exposure. Provided materials possess unique mechanical and structural properties, including size, density, moldability and machinability.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to cultured tissue, methods for production of the cultured tissue, and a bioreactor system for production of the cultured tissue. In some embodiments, the production of the cultured tissue may involve, at a first bioreactor, feeding a fiber scaffold into a chamber containing culture media, seeding the chamber with precursor cells, and allowing the precursor cells to proliferate and differentiate on a surface of the fiber scaffold. At downstream bioreactors, the production of the cultured tissue may further involve twisting a plurality of the cell-laden fibers to provide a cell-laden yarn, and weaving or knitting the cell-laden yarn into a three-dimensional (3D) structure. In some embodiments, the cultured tissue may be whole muscle cultured meat composed of muscle cell-laden fibers and fat cell-laden fibers. The whole muscle cultured meat may have a structural organization and hierarchy that mimics natural skeletal muscle tissue.
