Native protein mimetic fibers, fiber networks and fabrics for medical use

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The present disclosure provides spun fibers of proteins useful for the fibers fiber networks and nonwoven fabrics for medical use with these materials , characterized by good biocompatibility properties (e.g. low tendency toward thromboses and inflammation when implanted into a human or animal). These materials can be fabricated from gelatin collagen or elastin-mimetic , proteins functionalized proteins of the foregoing types crosslinked , functionalized proteins of the foregoing types and there may be incorporated , nonproteinaceous polymers and/or therapeutic proteins or other medicinal compounds. Additionally, there may be living cells colonized on the material of the present …
