In biomedical applications, transglutaminases have been used for tissue engineering materials such as enzymatically crosslinked collagen [60-63] or gelatin scaffolds [64-69]. Even melt-extruded guides based on enzymatically crosslinked macromolecules for peripheral nerve repair have been reported [70].
