Silk-The Prospective and Compatible Bio-Material for Advanced Functional Applications

Milled non-mulberry silk fibroin microparticles as biomaterial for biomedical applications

“…Silk fibroin (SF) derived from mulberry silkworm; Bombyx mori (B. mori) has been widely used as suitable matrices/substrates due to its high oxygen permeability, superior mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility [10][11][12][13][14][15]. Additionally, there is a natural abundance of cell binding motifs, arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) in non-mulberry silk fibroin, which felicitates better cell attachment and proliferation [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Introduction to Biomaterials

“…These materials have promising applications for use in wound healing and as tissue engineering scaffolds, specifically for the development of skeletal tissue, supporting improved cell adhesion, silk fibroin non-woven mat for the vascularized reticular and connective tissue formation [28][29][30][31].…”
