CD Biosynsis leverages our synthetic biology platform to help our customers explore economical ways to achieve efficient elastin production. Our distinguished scientists can provide expertise in synthetic biology to help our customers design and construct elastin with desirable or innovative properties for their applications in a wide range of fields.
Advantages of Synthetic Biology-Driven Elastin Production
Elastin is a biopolymer with highly elastic amino acid chains that provide resistance and elasticity to various tissues and organs of the body. Various elastin biomaterials developed based on elastin have a wide range of potential applications in biomedical, cosmetic, and tissue engineering fields. Generally, elastin biomaterials can be produced from natural, recombinant, or synthetic sources. However, there are many factors that hinder the large-scale and efficient production of elastin. The breakthrough advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering promise to overcome these obstacles in a completely new way. The engineering strategies and advanced tools of synthetic biology have greatly advanced the commercialization process of elastin and helped to design and construct powerfully engineered elastin biomaterials that can meet the needs of specific applications.
