PROTEIN-BASED BIOMATERIAL WITH VISCOELASTIC BEHAVIOUR, PROCESS FOR OBTAINING IT AND USES THEREOF

The present invention relates to a process of preparation of a biomaterial comprising the steps of: a) Preparing a solution comprising at least one protein having a solubility in water superior or equal to about 10 mg/mL and at least one salt having solubility in water superior or equal to about 500 mg/mL, b) Evaporating the solution obtained in step a) as is, as a foam obtained by foaming the solution obtained in step a), or as a mixture thereof, at a temperature comprised of from 4 to 50° C. in atmospheric pressure or at lower temperatures under vacuum or at a pressure lower than atmospheric pressure, until the formation of two non-miscible phases or until obtaining a substantially dry solid, thereby obtaining a biomaterial.

The present invention also relates to a biomaterial obtainable by the process, and to the use of the biomaterial as a support for in vitro tissue engineering and/or for in vitro cell culture and in vitro expansion and/or as an implantable medical device, or as a drug.

PLANT EXPRESSING ANIMAL MILK PROTEINS

Disclosed herein are genetically modified plants expressing multiple animal milk proteins. Further disclosed are vectors for expressing in a plant and parts thereof, multiple mammalian milk proteins; genetically modified and or gene-edited plants having at least one cell expressing and producing at least two recombinant mammalian milk proteins wherein expression may be in a seed, bean, grain, fruit, nut, legume, leaf, stem, root, or portion thereof, the recombinant protein being produced by the plant cell; and a method of producing a food, medicament, cosmetic or blocking composition from the genetically modified or gene-edited plant. Reduction or elimination of seed storage proteins in a cell or cells wherein the milk proteins are expressed, or reduction of plant enzymes that can increase the content of oleic and/or stearic fatty acids and/or reduce the content of saturated fats in the plants or plant products are also disclosed.

Modified urokinase-type plasminogen activator polypeptides and methods of use

Provided are u-PA polypeptides and fusion proteins containing the u-PA polypeptides. The u-PA polypeptides are modified to have altered activity and/or specificity so that they cleave a complement protein, such as complement protein C3, to thereby inhibit complement activation. The modified u-PA polypeptides and fusion proteins that inhibit complement activation can be used for treatment of diseases and conditions that are mediated by complement activation, or in which complement activation plays a role. These disorders include ischemic and reperfusion disorders, including myocardial infarction and stroke, sepsis, autoimmune diseases, diabetic retinopathies, age-related macular degeneration, transplanted organ rejection, inflammatory diseases and diseases with an inflammatory component.
