  • COMPOSITION BASED ON RECOMBINANT BIOPOLYMERS AND USES OF SAME AS BIO-INK
    Publication number: 20220047706
    Abstract: The present invention refers to compositions comprising recombinant biopolymers made of combinations of monomers of the type “Elastin-like recombinamers” (ELR), monomers comprising the “silk” sequence and/or monomers comprising the HLF sequence that belongs to a natural class of proteins named zippers. Said compositions are useful as bio-ink for 3D printing. Furthermore, the present invention also refers to methods for obtaining the composition of the invention, as well as the 3D biomaterial and to the different uses of the composition and the obtained biomaterial.
