Spider Silk in Tissue Engineering
Why is this work in the frame?
A frame that forgets how it found something cannot be audited. These are the routes that admitted this work.
No Canadian affiliation. An affiliation-only frame — the usual design — would never have seen this work. It is one of the works that make the case for inverting the frame.

Abstract
Spider Silk in Tissue EngineeringThe biomedical applications of spider silk can be traced back to ancient Roman times, where silk fibre meshes were used to treat skin lesions.1 Today, spider silk is commonly used as a suturing material in eye, intraoral, and lip surgeries due to its strength and extensibility.2However, new applications for spider silk have been identified in the field of tissue engineering, with potential uses ranging from meshes and coatings to scaffolding for tissue regeneration.3These applications take advantage of spider silk's biocompatibility and high tensile strength to promote cardiac tissue regeneration, peripheral axon myelination, bone regeneration, and cartilage growth.3In this article, the latest large-scale production methods and several promising applications of spider silk are reviewed.
