Introduction to 3D Bioprinting 3D bioprinting is a revolutionary technology that enables the fabrication of functional, biological replicas of naturally occurring body parts, such as organs. This process involves using cellular bio-inks, which are composed of living cells and biocompatible materials, to artificially grow organs in a lab setting . Sericin and Fibroin are playing…
Silk Fibroin, the core structural protein in silk, is a product of the Bombyx mori (silkworm). This biopolymer is composed of light and heavy chains, held together by disulfide bonds. The repetitive sequences of amino acids in its structure, mainly glycine, alanine, and serine, contribute to its unique properties such as robustness, elasticity, and biocompatibility….
Silk proteins, the shimmering building blocks of one of nature’s most luxurious materials, have fascinated humans for millennia. But what exactly are these proteins, and why do they matter so much in various industries today? Let’s embark on a journey to unravel the intriguing mystery of silk proteins. What are Silk Proteins? At its core,…
