Silk Fibroin

Silk fibroin is a natural protein fiber produced by silkworms, primarily used to make silk fabric. It consists of long chains of amino acids arranged in a way that gives it strength, flexibility, and biocompatibility. Due to its gentle and non-toxic nature, silk fibroin is also being explored for medical applications such as tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery. Its unique combination of durability and softness makes it valuable in both textiles and biomedical fields, offering a sustainable and biocompatible material derived from nature.
