‘Tuning’ gel-forming protein molecules to boost their versatility for biomedical applications
Jin Kim Montclare | Via Phys.org | February 16, 2022Self-assembling protein molecules are versatile materials for medical applications because their ability to form gels can be accelerated or retarded by variations in pH, as well as changes in temperature or ionic strength. These biomaterials, responsive to physiological conditions, can therefore be easily adapted for applications where their effectiveness depends on gelation kinetics, such as […]
Current Process Analytical Technology Inadequate for Cell Therapies
