Recombinant protein production is crucial for biomedical and industrial applications; however, achieving high yields for complex protein-like biomaterials such as elastin-like recombinamers (ELRs) remains challenging. ELRs, protein-based polymers derived from tropoelastin, emulate the mechanical and bioactive properties of natural tissues, making t...

Developing in vitro models that accurately mimic the microenvironment of biological structures or processes holds substantial promise for gaining insights into specific biological functions. In the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, in vitro models able to capture the precise structural, topographical, and functional complexity...

Bioprinting In article 2200251 by Gema Jiménez, Juan Antonio Marchal and co‐workers, a tissue graft made by a b‐TPUe scaffold is modified with two methods based on 1‐pyrene butyric acid (PBA) and Collagen type I. The two methods enhance the mesenchymal stem cell–biomaterial interactions and the improvement in chondro‐inductive properties, which has...

Osteoarthritis is a disease with a great socioeconomic impact and mainly affects articular cartilage, a tissue with reduced self‐healing capacity. In this work, 3D printed 1,4 butanediol thermoplastic polyurethane (b‐TPUe) scaffolds are functionalized and infrapatellar mesenchymal stem cells are used as the cellular source. Since b‐TPUe is a biomat...
