Engineering High-Yield Biopolymer Secretion Creates an Extracellular Protein Matrix for Living Materials
Abstract
Engineered living materials (ELM) aim to mimic characteristics of natural occurring systems, bringing the benefits of self-healing, synthesis, autonomous assembly, and responsiveness to traditional materials. Previous research has shown the potential of replicating the bacterial extracellular matrix (ECM) to mimic biofilms.
