Abstract: The invention disclosed herein generally provides implantable medical devices and implants that may be removed on-demand from a subject's body at any time after their implanting in the body, without necessitating invasive procedures.

Abstract: Compositions containing curable recombinant human collagen, and kits comprising same, which are usable in preparing modeling material formulations for additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D bioprinting) of 3D objects are provided. Methods utilizing such modeling material formulations in additive manufacturing of 3D objects having a collagen-based material in at least a portion thereof, are also provided. The formulations feature a desired viscosity at a temperature higher than 10° C. (e.g., room temperature or 37° C.) and allow performing the additive manufacturing without cooling the system or a part thereof.

Abstract: Provided is a unique class of foam materials characterized by regions of material unidirectionality. The foam materials are configured for a great variety of end-use applications as core materials or as materials in construction of multilayered structures. The novel and ingenious process for making the composite materials of the invention, permits modifying the foam materials to suite any specific end use.

Abstract: Provided are methods, compositions and kits employing cellulose nanocrystals for hair-straightening treatment. Also provided are methods, compositions and kits employing a resilin, for hair-straightening treatment and/or for maintenance of straightened hair following a hair-straightening treatment.

Abstract: A method of producing collagen in a plant and plants producing collagen are provided. The method is effected by expressing in the plant at least one type of a collagen alpha chain in a manner enabling accumulation of the collagen alpha chain in a subcellular compartment devoid of endogenous P4H activity, thereby producing the collagen in the plant.

Abstract: A method is disclosed that exploits the combined features of carbohydrate binding modules (CBM) and nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC) for ‘fishing out’ specific agents of interest (AOI), such as proteins, which are optionally present or produced in culture.

Abstract: A method of modifying a glycosylation pattern of a polypeptide-of-interest in a plant or plant cell is provided. The method comprising expressing in a plant or plant cell transformed to express at least one glycosidase in a subcellular compartment, a nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide-of-interest, such that the at least one glycosidase and the polypeptide-of-interest are co-localized to the subcellular compartment of the plant or plant cell, thereby modifying the glycosylation pattern of the polypeptide-of-interest in the plant or plant cell.

Abstract: A composition of matter is disclosed which comprises crosslinked collagen, platelet rich plasma (PRP) and an inorganic salt. Methods of generating same and uses thereof are also disclosed.
