What are the Challenges in Using Elastin in Nanotechnology?
While elastin and ELPs offer numerous advantages, there are also challenges that need to be addressed:
Scalability: Producing elastin-based nanomaterials at a large scale while maintaining their unique properties can be challenging. Stability: Ensuring the long-term stability of elastin-based nanostructures under physiological conditions is crucial for their practical applications. Biocompatibility: Although elastin is inherently biocompatible, modifications and functionalizations may affect its compatibility with biological systems.
