7. Recombinant spider silk for biomedical applications - from functionalizing surfaces of synthetic materials to in vitro modelling of tissues
Sammanfattning : Spider silk is a natural protein-based material known for its medicinal use and remarkable mechanical properties. Structures made thereof are both strong and elastic and have been shown to be favorable matrices for tissue engineering. LÄS MER
8. Functionalization of spider silk with affinity and bioactive domains via genetic engineering for in vitro disease diagnosis and tissue engineering
Sammanfattning : In the recent past, spider silk has drawn significant attention from researchers mainly due to its distinguished mechanical strength, elasticity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. Technological advancements in genetic engineering have resulted in methods for creation of partial spider silk proteins. LÄS MER
9. Mechanisms of native and artificial spinning of spider silk
Sammanfattning : Spider silk is tougher than all other known natural and man-made fibers, and represents an environmentally friendly material that could potentially be used for many different purposes, ranging from biomaterials to construction materials. However, for large-scale production of silk, methods to produce artificial silk fibers must be developed. LÄS MER
10. Of spiders, bugs, and men : Structural and functional studies of proteins involved in assembly
Sammanfattning : Protein assembly enables complex machineries while being economical with genetic information. However, protein assembly also constitutes a potential threat to the host, and needs to be carefully regulated.Sulfate is a common source of sulfur for cysteine synthesis in bacteria. LÄS MER
