The swelling of microgels is used to concentrate the surrounding solution and regenerate silk fibroin in situ. obtained materials are self-reinforced composite granular hydrogels with high stability, strength toughness.

Batteries are utilized in a multitude of devices encountered our daily lives. Here we describe comparative study Magnesium-air and Zinc-air primary batteries using silk fibroin-ionic liquid polymer electrolytes (composed Bombyx mori fibroin choline nitrate). The ionic conductivity the films was order mS cm−1 which is sufficient to satisfy requirements for many battery applications, open circuit...

Probiotic strain is known to regulate the immune system by colonizing in intestine and interact with intestinal cell receptors of lymphoid tissue. In this study, safety Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC14471BP silk fibroin coating effects was evaluated respect mucin binding abilities modulation. S. coated adding 1% water-soluble calcium 0.1% fibroin. showed high activities leucine arylamidase β-g...

This research focused on preparing a ketoconazole-infused silk fibroin hydrogel to enhance patient compliance, leveraging the hydrogel's biocompatibility and biodegradability. The process used 50% (v/v) ethanol, propanol, or glycerol solution treated with 2% (w/v) at 37°C. use of quickened gelation process. structure was analyzed via SEM, UV-VIS spectrometry evaluate encapsulation efficiency ke...

We have shown that protic ionic liquids, pILs, are effective coagulation solvents for the regenerated of silk fibroin, RSF. We show that the choice of pIL has a dramatic effect on the composition of the RSF. Additionally the use of pILs as the coagulator eliminates the need for volatile organic solvents in silk processing.

Antibacterial wound dressings have great importance to reduce infections caused by bacteria. In this research work, levofloxacin-loaded silk fibroin and chitosan composite scaffolds were synthesized for effective dressing applications. Initially, was degummed extraction of fibroin, it mixed with at different ratios. The stirred room temperature get soluble clear gel formation. Afterward, citric...

Background: In the present study, a tissue engineered silk fibroin (SF) scaffold containing simvastatin-loaded silk fibroin nanoparticles (SFNPs) were used to stimulate the regeneration of the defected bone. Methods: At first, the porous SF scaffold was prepared using freeze-drying. Then simvastatin-loaded SFNPs were made by dissolvation method and embedded in the SF scaffold. Afterwards, the ...

In this work, fibroin, polylactide (PLA) and carbon are investigated for their suitability as biocompatible biodegradable materials amperometric biosensors. For purpose, screen-printed electrodes on the substrates fibroin PLA modified with a glucose oxidase membrane then encapsulated material Ecoflex. The influence of different curing parameters resulting biosensor characteristics is studied. m...

Silk fibroin is a well-known biopolymer that used in several applications which interactions with biological tissue are required. Fibroin extremely versatile and can be shaped to form constructs useful engineering applications. Confocal imaging usually performed test cell behavior on construct, and, this context, the intrinsic fluorescence regarded as problem. In addition, not intense enough pr...
