Abstract

The present invention provides methodologies and parameters for fabrication of the hybrid biomaterial by blending pure laminin or complex extracts of tissues containing laminin with biopolymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic/polyglycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) or Polydioxanone (PDO) in fluoroalcohols (HFP, TFA), fabrication of substrates and scaffolds and devices from the hybrid biomaterial in forms such as films, nanofibers by electrospinning or microspheres, and the biological or biomedical use of the material or devices derived from it.
