A Bio-inspired Multifunctionalized Silk Fibroin [PDF]
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2021 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
