Protein matrices engineered for control of cell and tissue behavior

Genetic engineering of artificial extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins represents an exciting avenue for the preservation and control of the specificity of natural polymers on a molecular level. This work focuses on controlling the mechanical and cell adhesion properties of artificial extracellular m...
