Abstract

See full text

Matrices covalently bound to bidomain peptides or proteins, produced recombinantly or synthetically, contain a transglutaminase substrate domain and a bioactive factor. The bioactive factor is preferably a growth factor, such as VEGF, growth factors from the TGF-.beta. superfamily, PDGF, human growth hormone, IGF, and ephrin. Particularly preferred growth factors are TGF-.beta.1, BMP 2; VEGF.sub.121 and PDGF AB. The matrix material is crosslinkable, and may form a gel. These compositions are useful for tissue repair and regeneration.
