Injectable recombinant protein-based hydrogels for therapeutic delivery

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide compositions and methods for injectable recombinant protein-based hydrogels for therapeutic delivery. Embodiments of the composition and methods comprise a recombinant protein, a cell consortia, and a biocompatible medium. The recombinant protein comprises one or more self-association domains and a flexible linker comprising a pseudorepeat of amino acids, forming stable hydrogels in contact with the cell consortia. Such composition and methods have broad application in delivery of viable cells to a biological tissue for tissue repair and regeneration.
