Popis: | A IO N Silks are made of proteins produced naturally by silkworms and spiders and are known as biocompatible, biodegradable, and extraordinarily robust biomaterials frequently utilized in biomaterial composites. [ 1 , 2 ] The versatility of silk proteins, along with their favorable characteristics and potential for processing in aqueous solution under ambient conditions, make silk-based materials excellent candidates for biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems and scaffolds for tissue engineering.
