Green Pathway for Processing Non-mulberry Antheraea pernyi Silk Fibroin/Chitin-Based Sponges: Biophysical and Biochemical Characterization

Silk protein fibroin (SF)-based matrices from non-mulberry, and mulberry silkworms are used for different applications in regenerative medicine. Silk fiber spun by the wild non-mulberry silkworm Antheraea pernyi (Ap) is also a promising biomedical material, due to the presence of the inherent tripep...
