Spider silk proteins (spidroins) are a remarkable class of biomaterials that exhibit a unique
combination of high-value attributes and can be processed into numerous morphologies for …

The extraordinary mechanical properties of spider silk fibers result from the interplay of
composition, structure and self-assembly of spider silk proteins (spidroins). Genetic …

Background Silk proteins have emerged as versatile biomaterials with unique chemical and
physical properties, making them appealing for various applications. Among them, spider …

We reported wet spinning of recombinant spider silk protein (RSSP) and formylation of
RSSP in formic acid (FA). First, FA was selected as the spinning solvent and the detailed …

Spider dragline silk has unique characteristics of strength and extensibility, including
supercontraction. When we use it as a biomaterial or material for textiles, it is important to …

Major ampullate (MA) silk is a natural biomaterial, spun by spiders with exceptional
mechanical characteristics. Most researchers who studied MA silk structure were primarily …

As discussed in Chapter 1, work related to strain optimization, bioprocessing parameters,
and the identification of upstream production bottlenecks are sparse within the recombinant …

Forcibly spinning method has once shown a potential to enhance tensile strength of Bombyx
mori silkworm silk fibers to the level of spider dragline silk. Thus, the tensile data for the …

Chronic wounds are non-healing wounds characterized by a prolonged inflammation phase.
Excessive inflammation leads to elevated protease levels and consequently to a decrease in …
