Over the years, silk fibroin (SF) has gained significant attention in various fields, such as
biomedicine, tissue engineering, food processing, photochemistry, and biosensing, owing to …

Silk fibroin (SF)/poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) blend filaments were prepared by a wet spinning
process. Regenerated SF and PVA were dissolved in formic acid and the dope solution …

Highlights•Silk materials attract attention because of their mechanical robustness.•The
characteristics of silk materials are attributed to their hierarchical structures.•Chemical …

Degradation behavior is very important in the field of silk-based biomaterials. Mulberry and
nonmulberry silk fibroins are structurally and functionally distinguishable; however, no …

Silk extracted from the cocoon of silkworm has been used as textile materials for thousands
of years. Recently, silk has been redefined as a protein-based biomaterial with great …

Hypothesis Silk artifacts constitute a fundamental cultural and historical heritage, yet they
are affected by degradation that alters the secondary structure of fibroin and weakens the …

Silk derived from the silkworm Bombyx mori is among the most important fibrous protein
biomaterials due to large-scale production from natural sources, excellent biocompatibility …

The challenge of stabilization of small molecules and proteins has received considerable
interest. The biological activity of small molecules can be lost as a consequence of chemical …

Due to their strong biomimetic potential, silk fibroin (SF) hydrogels are impressive
candidates for tissue engineering, due to their tunable mechanical properties …

Regenerated silk fibroin has been proposed as a material substrate for biomedical, optical,
and electronic applications. Preparation of the silk fibroin solution requires extraction …
