“…32 Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs), genetically engineered polypeptides mimicking the properties of elastin, possess numerous advantages, including excellent biocompatibility and biodegradation, robust mechanical properties, thermoresponsive behavior, and tunable bioactivity through genetic engineering. 33,34 ELP-based biomaterials have been developed as scaffolds and nanocarriers in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications. 35,36 However, limited research has been conducted on using ELP hydrogels as a delivery platform for ICIs drugs in cancer immunotherapy.…”
