“…While there are a number of biomaterials available for drug delivery devices, purified silk fibroin protein is a unique option that is particularly well suited to the needs listed above. Silk fibroin is biocompatible [20] and biodegrades slowly [21]. Degradation lifetimes of silk can be regulated by the extent of physical crosslinking for beta sheet formation, allowing control of degradation timeframes from weeks to years [21], an important property for sustained release applications.…”

“…[103,104] Silk is degradable and lightweight with excellent thermal and mechanical properties. [105,106] SF is obtained after the extraction of sericin proteins from silk. SF is non-immunogenic, biocompatible, and capable of supporting cell attachment, spreading, growth, and differentiation.…”

“…Especially, fibroin as the main component of silk protein has found diverse applications in the biomedical field, which has a strong tensile strength, biodegradability and biocompatibility (Horan et al, 2005;Meinel et al, 2005). Hence, many researchers select silk fibroin as one of the materials for biomedical application.…”

“…Silk fibroin is a natural fibrous protein with a semicrystalline structure and it consists of heavy chain (390 kDa), light chain (25 kDa) and glycoprotein. Each polypeptides linked by disulfide bond (Zhou et al, 2001).Especially, fibroin as the main component of silk protein has found diverse applications in the biomedical field, which has a strong tensile strength, biodegradability and biocompatibility (Horan et al, 2005;Meinel et al, 2005). Hence, many researchers select silk fibroin as one of the materials for biomedical application.…”
