A Bio-inspired Multifunctionalized Silk Fibroin [PDF]
A bio-inspired multifunctionalized silk fibroin (BMS) was synthesized in order to mimic the interaction of nidogen with the type IV collagen and laminin of basement membranes. The designed BMS consists of a motif of laminin α-chain-derived, called IK peptide, and type IV collagen covalently bound to the silk fibroin (SF) by using EDC/NHS coupling and a

Surface Modification and Characterisation of Silk Fibroin Fabric Produced by the Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembly of Multilayer Alginate/Regenerated Silk Fibroin. [PDF]
Silk-based medical products have a long history of use as a material for surgical sutures because of their desirable mechanical properties. However, silk fibroin fabric has been reported to be haemolytic when in direct contact with blood.
