The Relationship between Secondary Structure and Biodegradation Behavior of Silk Fibroin Scaffolds

Silk fibroin has a unique and useful combination of properties, including good biocompatibility and excellent mechanical performance. These features provided early clues to the utility of regenerated silk fibroin as a scaffold/matrix for tissue engineering. The silk fibroin scaffolds used for tissue...
