Elsharkawy, S., Al-Jawad, M., Pantano, M. F., Tejeda-Montes, E., Mehta, K., Jamal, H., …Mata, A. (2018). Protein disorder–order interplay to guide the growth of hierarchical mineralized structures. Nature Communications, 9, Article 2145. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-018-04319-0

A major goal in materials science is to develop bioinspired functional materials based on the precise control of molecular building blocks across length scales. Here we report a protein-mediated mineralization process that takes advantage of disorder...

Hydrodynamically Guided Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Peptide-Protein Bioinks (2018)
Journal Article
Ng, K. W., Hedegaard, C. L., Collin, E. C., Castrejón-Pita, A. A., Redondo-Gómez, C., Nguyen, L. T. H., …Mata, A. (2018). Hydrodynamically Guided Hierarchical Self-Assembly of Peptide-Protein Bioinks. Advanced Functional Materials, 28(16), Article 1703716. https://doi.org/10.1002/adfm.201703716

Effective integration of molecular self?assembly and additive manufacturing would provide a technological leap in bioprinting. This article reports on a biofabrication system based on the hydrodynamically guided co?assembly of peptide amphiphiles (PA...
