Nanometer-Thick Fabrics Offer Strength and Elasticity: Developed At Harvard University

Medtechinsider -- Researchers at Harvard University have developed a stretchy fabric made by linking together the proteins found in muscle tissue. Eventually, the material developed in the laboratory of Kevin Kit Parker could provide a scaffold for growing tissue for the heart and other organs. In addition, the material can be used to create high-performance textiles that could be used for coating bandages to promote healing.
