The present study describes a semi-interpenetrating network hydrogel fabricated using silk
fibroin/polyacrylamide for controlled drug delivery applications. Hydrogels were synthesized …

Removal of injured/damaged meniscus, a vital fibrocartilaginous load-bearing tissue,
impairs normal knee function and predisposes patients to osteoarthritis. Meniscus tissue …

Current advances in skin tissue engineering and wound healing augur well for the development
of split or full thickness skin substitutes to recapitulating the native functional skin. These …

Cartilage tissue is deprived of intrinsic self-regeneration capability; hence, its damage often
progresses to a chronic condition which reduces the quality of life. Toward the fabrication of …

Cartilage tissue lacks an intrinsic capacity for self-regeneration due to slow matrix turnover,
a limited supply of mature chondrocytes and insufficient vasculature. Although cartilage …

An osteoarthritis pandemic has accelerated exploration of various biomaterials for cartilage
reconstruction with a special emphasis on silk fibroin from mulberry (Bombyx mori) and non-…

Developing biomimetic cartilaginous tissues that support locomotion while maintaining
chondrogenic behavior is a major challenge in the tissue engineering field. Specifically, while …

Pore architecture in 3D polymeric scaffolds is known to play a critical role in tissue engineering
as it provides the vital framework for the seeded cells to organize into a functioning tissue…

Biomaterials for bone tissue regeneration represent a major focus of orthopedic research.
However, only a handful of polymeric biomaterials are utilized today because of their failure to …

This paper describes a new source for fabricating high‐strength, non‐bioengineered silk
gland fibroin 3D scaffolds from Indian tropical tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta using SDS for …
