Architecturally defined scaffolds from synthetic collagen and elastin analogues for the fabrication of bioengineered tissues

The microstructure and mechanics of collagen and elastin protein fiber networks dictate the mechanical responses of all soft tissues and related organ systems. In this project, we endeavored to meet or exceed native tissue mechanical properties through mimicry of these extracellular matrix componen...
