Degumming for Waste Silk. Part IX

Degumming of silk yarn using alkali, enzyme and seidlitzia rosmarinus

Degumming of Raw Silk Fabric with Help of Marine Extracellular Protease

Protease secreting microbe was isolated and characterized on the basis of their morphological, biochemical, physiological and 16S rDNA based molecular properties. The extracellular protease was quantified and characterized. Protease was used for different time (4, 8, 12 and 24 h) at different temperature (RT and 37°C) for optimization of the degumming process for raw silk fabric with enzyme dos...

Someone has to go last and in this case the honor falls to Mike Byrne. I did not commission Mike to write “a last chapter” but that is what he did. In a way his chapter 30 and my chapter 1 can be viewed as bookends for the 28 chapters that lie between. I began the book with a short essay on three types of control of cognition that need to be considered when building integrated models of cogniti...

Improved human tenocyte proliferation and differentiation in vitro by optimized silk degumming.

Tendon disorders are common clinical conditions. Tendon tissue engineering provides a new approach for tendon repair by integrating engineered substitutes with their native counterparts. Silk is considered to be a promising candidate for tendon engineering because of its biological and mechanical properties. However, a major concern with using silk for biomedical applications is the immune resp...
