agents that are not taken up into the biomaterial that needs to be preserved such agents are raffinose dextrans and other large molecules that may be used extracellularly with the method of the invention to enhance the outcome of a particular preservation protocol it is contemplated that the methods of this invention could be used for the treatment of an injury that causes denaturation of proteins in a subject denaturation of proteins in a subject could be caused by various stresses such stresses could for example be abiotic or biotic biochemical accordingly an amount of biocompatible multiblock copolymer surfactant effective to refold denatured proteins into their native structures could be administered to an injured subject the biocompatible multiblock copolymer surfactant should be administered for an amount of time sufficient to refold the denature proteins into their native structures the administration of the biocompatible multiblock copolymer surfactants could be topical vascular or through other methods commonly known in the art the biocompatible multiblock copolymer surfactant could be delivered using accepted pharmaceutical carriers in some instances repeated applications of multiblock copolymer surfactants may be needed to promote protein renaturation and subject 39 s healing it is contemplated that the methods of this invention could be used for the preservation and stabilization of a variety of proteins in tissue engineering applications where denaturation of proteins may occur tissue engineering could be performed e g for tissue regeneration grating transplantation or for experimentation purposes it is contemplated that the methods of this invention could be used for the preservation and stabilization of a variety of proteins in cell tissue.
