Silk are fibrous proteins synthesized in specialized epithelial cells that line glands in these organisms [1]. Silk fibroin polymers consist of repetitive protein sequences and provide structural roles in cocoon formation, nest building, traps, web formation, safety lines and egg protection [1, 2].
1 sie 2007 · Recently regenerated silk solutions have been used to form a variety of biomaterials, such as gels, sponges and films, for medical applications. Silks can be chemically modified through amino acid side chains to alter surface properties or to immobilize cellular growth factors.
21 kwi 2023 · This Review details the design and utility of silk biomaterials for different applications, with particular focus on chemistry.
Silk-based biomaterials show particular promise for skin wound healing due to their hemostatic properties, low inflammatory potential, and permeability to oxygen and water, as well as their ability to function as a barrier to bacterial colonization (Table 3).
1 lut 2003 · To date, studies with silks to address biomaterial and matrix scaffold needs have focused on silkworm silk. With the diversity of silk-like fibrous proteins from spiders and insects, a range of native or bioengineered variants can be expected for application to a diverse set of clinical needs.
24 sie 2019 · The present review of silk fibroin-based healthcare materials focusses on the diversity and sources of silk fibroin as well as on the components of silk fibroin that elicit the necessary properties for hitherto utilisation of silk as an ideal biomedical material.
