TISSUE COMPATIBLE MATERIAL AND METHODS USING SAME

摘要

A tissue compatible material having a prolamine protein derived from a plant, such as maize, commonly known as zein, which when sufficiently pure is capable of being provided alone or formulated with one or more agents or components for tissue implantation and augmentation applications and for 3-D laminar organ transplantation applications. Methods are described for using the tissue compatible material for such tissue applications such, as an injectable dermal filler, for soft tissue augmentation, tissue implants, grafts, as a substrate for skin replacement, or wound healing and in organ transplantation.
