Preparation of silk fibroin-based microspheres under high-gravity field

Bioinspired silk fibroin materials: From silk building blocks extraction and reconstruction to advanced biomedical applications

“…Both PEG and SF have excellent biocompatibility, so, this kind of method will be useful in a variety of biomedical applications. Recently, some other kinds of strategies have also been attempted to prepare RSF microspheres, such as the high-gravity anti-solvent precipitation method [ 56 ] and emulsion cross-linking strategy [ 57 ]. These studies have afforded different kinds of functional RSF microspheres and provided promising opportunities for the loading and sustained releasing of bioactive factors.…”

“…Moreover, even after being processed through those sequential steps, it is difficult to directly prepare materials with other formats except for yarn, fabric, and nonwoven as SFs have a hierarchical structure and fixed diameter. − Therefore, a further bioengineering process is needed to extract the desired building blocks of serin-removed natural silk. Then, it is possible to reconstruct them into functional regenerated silk fibroin materials with various formats including microspheres, , fibers, , and films. − …”

“…17−19 Therefore, a further bioengineering process is needed to extract the desired building blocks of serin-removed natural silk. Then, it is possible to reconstruct them into functional regenerated silk fibroin materials with various formats including microspheres, 20,21 fibers, 22,23 and films. 24−26 In this regard, cellulose-based materials seem to be much more attractive candidates for renewable and degradable substrates compared to SFs.…”
