A General Protein Unfolding‐Chemical Coupling Strategy for Pure Protein Hydrogels with Mechanically Strong and Multifunctional Properties
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Advanced Science"
DOI: 10.1002/advs.202102557
Abstract: Protein‐based hydrogels have attracted great attention due to their excellent biocompatible properties, but often suffer from weak mechanical strength. Conventional strengthening strategies for protein‐based hydrogels are to introduce nanoparticles or synthetic polymers for improving their… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23063032
Abstract: Strain-stiffening properties derived from biological tissue have been widely observed in biological hydrogels and are essential in mimicking natural tissues. Although strain-stiffening has been studied in various protein-based hydrogels, effective approaches for tuning the strain-stiffening… read more here.
