| Popis: | Spider silks are intriguing biomaterials that have a high potential as innovative biomedical processes and devices. The intent of this study was to evaluate the capacity of recombinant spider silk proteins (rSSps) as a synthetic Bruch’s membrane. Nonporous silk membranes were prepared with comparable thicknesses ( |
