Silk Fibroin Market: Overview

Silk fibroin (SF) is a protein produced by silkworms and spiders. It has exceptional mechanical properties as well as excellent physical and chemical properties such as excellent biocompatibility, tunable degradation, and ease of processing. The material also has the ability to support differentiation of the mesenchymal stem cells along the osteogenic lineage. These properties have made silk fibroin a favorable scaffold material for bone tissue engineering. Silk fibroin can be processed into various forms such as fibers, films, and particulate and three-dimensional (3D) porous scaffolds. Silk fibroin can also be synergistically combined with other biomaterials to form various composites. Also, it can be chemically modified for different applications. Silk fibroin is widely used in various biomedical applications, due to its superior biocompatibility, tunable degradation, and excellent mechanical properties. Researchers are developing methods to utilize silk fibroin biomaterials for repairing the ocular surface of the cornea on injury, for which the currently available biomaterials are partially effective. This can generate demand for use of silk fibroin biomaterials in eye care applications.
