Researchers have developed cardiac muscle tissue made of spider silk, to investigate whether artificial silk protein could be suitable for engineering cardiac tissue. Ischaemic diseases such as ...

And it wasn’t easy. The difficulty in replicating these complex biological processes has made creating artificial spider silk extremely challenging. The biopolymer fiber is made up of large ...

Indeed, the researchers are planning to use this starting material and technique to create their own artificial silk with functional proteins added to it to enhance its usefulness and specificity.

A team of researchers from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and Karolinska Institutet has have developed a method for making artificial spider silk ... described spinning processes.
