A Leishmania secretion system for the expression of major ampullate spidroin mimics.

A Leishmania secretion system for the expression of major ampullate spidroin mimics.

Spider major ampullate silk fibers have been shown to display a unique combination of relatively high fracture strength and toughness compared to other fibers and show potential for tissue engineering scaffolds. While it is not possible to mass produce native spider silks, the potential ability to p...
