Schematic illustration of the preparation and functional characterization of the EEP–DNA bioassembly (termed “EED adhesive”).

Caption

(a) Schematic diagram of ECM composition. Elastin and growth factor are important components of the ECM. (b) Construction and expression of the protein. (c) Preparation of the EED adhesive via bio-inspired noncovalent interactions. (d) Surface morphology of the freeze-dried EED adhesive. (e) Schematic representation of the EED adhesive for adhesion/EGF healing combination therapy (scale bar: 1 cm).
