Recent Developments in Regenerated Silk Fibroin Fibers
Silk fiber has gained its importance in the field of tissue engineering due to its excellent mechanical and biocompatible properties. The properties of silk fiber can be engineered for its suitable use in tissue engineering by its regeneration in the form of films or fibers. This review paper summarizes current research related to regeneration techniques for silk fiber preparation, characterist...
متن کاملThe preparation of regenerated silk fibroin microspheres
The objective of the present study is to investigate the possibility of preparing pure protein microspheres from regenerated silk fibroin (RSF). It is found that RSF microspheres, with predictable and controllable sizes ranging from 0.2 to 1.5 mm, can be prepared via mild selfassembling of silk fibroin molecular chains. The merits of this novel method include a rather simple production apparatu...
متن کاملSilk Fibers Extruded Artificially from Aqueous Solutions of Regenerated Bombyx mori Silk Fibroin are Tougher than their Natural Counterparts
2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gm The dragline silk of certain spiders has excellent tensile properties that are maintained over a remarkable temperature range. Although the commercial Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk is considerably weaker and less tough than the best spider dragline silks, fibers with comprehensive mechanical properties approaching that of spiders can be obtained by force-reeling ...
متن کاملBombyx mori Silk Fibroin Scaffolds with Antheraea pernyi Silk Fibroin Micro/Nano Fibers for Promoting EA. hy926 Cell Proliferation
Achieving a high number of inter-pore channels and a nanofibrous structure similar to that of the extracellular matrix remains a challenge in the preparation of Bombyx mori silk fibroin (BSF) scaffolds for tissue engineering. In this study, Antheraea pernyi silk fibroin (ASF) micro/nano fibers with an average diameter of 324 nm were fabricated by electrospinning from an 8 wt % ASF solution in h...
متن کاملTumor Growth Suppression Induced by Biomimetic Silk Fibroin Hydrogels
Protein-based hydrogels with distinct conformations which enable encapsulation or differentiation of cells are of great interest in 3D cancer research models. Conformational changes may cause macroscopic shifts in the hydrogels, allowing for its use as biosensors and drug carriers. In depth knowledge on how 3D conformational changes in proteins may affect cell fate and tumor formation is requir...
