Silk-based biomaterials.
Silk from the silkworm, Bombyx mori, has been used as biomedical suture material for centuries. The unique mechanical properties of these fibers provided important clinical repair options for many applications. During the past 20 years, some biocompatibility problems have been reported for silkworm silk; however, contamination from residual sericin (glue-like proteins) was the likely cause. Mor...
متن کاملBiodegradation of Silk Biomaterials
Silk fibroin from the silkworm, Bombyx mori, has excellent properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradation, non-toxicity, adsorption properties, etc. As a kind of ideal biomaterial, silk fibroin has been widely used since it was first utilized for sutures a long time ago. The degradation behavior of silk biomaterials is obviously important for medical applications. This article will focus o...
متن کاملSilk based biomaterials to heal critical sized femur defects.
Bone auto- and allografts have inherent drawbacks, therefore the treatment of non-unions and critical size defects in load bearing long bones would benefit from the use of osteopromotive biodegradable, biocompatible and mechanically durable matrices to enhance migration or delivery of cell populations and/or morphogens/cytokines. Silk fibroin biomaterial scaffolds were evaluated as osteopromoti...
متن کاملSupracolloidal Assemblies as Sacrificial Templates for Porous Silk-Based Biomaterials
Tissues in the body are hierarchically structured composite materials with tissue-specific properties. Urea self-assembles via hydrogen bonding interactions into crystalline supracolloidal assemblies that can be used to impart macroscopic pores to polymer-based tissue scaffolds. In this communication, we explain the solvent interactions governing the solubility of urea and thereby the scope of ...
متن کاملStem cell-based tissue engineering with silk biomaterials.
Silks are naturally occurring polymers that have been used clinically as sutures for centuries. When naturally extruded from insects or worms, silk is composed of a filament core protein, termed fibroin, and a glue-like coating consisting of sericin proteins. In recent years, silk fibroin has been increasingly studied for new biomedical applications due to the biocompatibility, slow degradabili...
