Zusammenfassung:Tissue repair and restoration can be performed using an elastic material formed from tropoelastin. The elastic material can be formed by providing a solution of tropoelastin monomers, applying the solution to a surface, and heating the solution on the surface in absence of a cross-linking agent to enable the tropoelastin monomers to bind to each other to form an elastic material that does not dissociate into tropoelastin monomers when the elastic material is contacted with an aqueous solution.
