Phospholipid- and gold-induced gelation of Thai silk fibroin
and its applications for cell and drug delivery
Chavee Laomeephol
Abstract:Recently, an�in situ�gelation, which is a rapid sol-to-gel transition under mild conditions, has been employed, allowing an entrapment of cells or substances in 3D structures as well as tailorable geometries and point-of-care uses. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural polymer from�Bombyx mori�silkworm cocoons, was chosen in this study as a substrate for the�in situ�hydrogel fabrication, due to self-assembly characteristic and a presence of modifiable functional groups. However, regenerated SF solution poses a slow gel… Show more
