Ilks are, fibrous proteins which are spun by a variety of species including silkworms and spiders.
Silks have common structural. Components and have a hierarchical structure. Silkworm silk must be
degummed for biomedical applications in order to remove. The immunogenic sericin coating. It may
subsequently be processed into a variety of forms often via, the formation of a. Fibroin, solution
.Including films fibres and, sponges and used, in combination with other materials such as gelatine
and, hydroxyapatite. Spider silks do not have a sericin coating and may be used in natural fibre form
or processed via formation of a spidroin. Solution. Both silkworm and spider silks have been reported
to support attachment and proliferation of a variety of cell. Types. Silks have subsequently been
.Investigated for use in tissue engineering. This chapter provides a general overview of silk
biomaterials discussing their,, Processing biocompatibility and, degradation behaviour and paying
particular attention to their applications in tissue engineering.
