Silk has a long track record of use in humans, and recent advances in silk fibroin processing
have opened up new material formats. However, these new formats and their applications …

Silk and silk derivatives have emerged as a possible alternative in surgical device
development, offering mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and environmental …

The mechanism by which arthropods (eg, spiders and many insects) can produce silk fibres
from an aqueous protein (fibroin) solution has remained elusive, despite much scientific …

In the context of environmental protection, the various waste textiles have caused
considerable contamination and aroused extensive concern worldwide. This paper used …

Despite many reports detailing silk hydrogels, the development of composite silk hydrogels
with homotypic and heterotypic silk nanoparticles and their impact on material mechanics …

Traditionally, silkworm silk has been used to make high-quality textiles. Nevertheless,
various wastes from silkworm silk textiles that are no longer used are increasing, which is …

Abstract Background: The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is an important lepidopteran model insect
worldwide which undergoes a complete metamorphosis developmental process. Although …

Recently, traditional polymer-based surgical meshes have drawn unwanted attention as a
result of host tissue complications arising from infection, biocompatibility, and mechanical …

Biopolymer silk has a long tradition of use in human health. However, our ability to unspin
the silk fiber, in combination with our emerging understanding of the silk self-assembly …

This research explores the development of composite silk hydrogels by incorporating
different types of silk nanoparticles and microfibres, including Antheraea mylitta (Tasar) silk …
