Spider silk—an environmentally friendly protein‐based material—is widely recognized for its
extraordinary mechanical properties. Biomimetic spider silk‐like fibers made from …

Spider silk is the toughest fiber found in nature, and bulk production of artificial spider silk
that matches its mechanical properties remains elusive. Development of miniature spider …

Efficient production of artificial spider silk fibers with properties that match its natural
counterpart has still not been achieved. Recently, a biomimetic process for spinning …

Spider silks are desirable materials with mechanical properties superior to most synthetic
materials coupled with biodegradability and biocompatibility. In order to replicate natural silk …

Fabricating artificial spider silk fibers in bulk scale has been a major goal in materials
science for centuries. Two main routes have emerged for making such fibers. One method …

Natural spider silk with extraordinary mechanical properties is typically spun from more than
one type of spidroin. Although the main components of various spider silks have been …

Nature's high‐performance polymer, spider silk, is composed of specific proteins, spidroins,
which form solid fibers. So far, fibers made from recombinant spidroins have failed in …

Spiders employ different combinations of silk proteins to produce up to seven types of silks
with distinct mechanical properties for various purposes, ranging from prey capture to …

Despite significant efforts to engineer their heterologous production, recombinant spider silk
proteins (spidroins) have yet to replicate the unparalleled combination of high strength and …

Amyloid fibrils—nanoscale fibrillar aggregates with high levels of order—are pathogenic in
some today incurable human diseases; however, there are also many physiologically …
