HISTORY / FUN FACT OF SILK
A Chinese tale of the discovery of the silkworm's silk was by an ancient empress Lei Zu, the wife of the Emperor.
She was drinking tea under a tree when a silk cocoon fell into her tea and the hot tea loosened the long strand of silk.
As she picked it out and started to wrap the silk thread around her finger, she slowly felt a warm sensation.
When the silk ran out, she saw a small larva. She realized that this caterpillar larva was the source of the silk.
She taught this to the people and it became widespread.

INTRODUCTİON
Similar to how humans use concrete, metals, and plastics to build the world around us, arthropods have employed nearly 40000 different silk proteins to produce varyings tructures such as webbing, nests, cocoons, and underwater air sacks
Silks represent a unique family of structural proteins that are biocompatible, degradable, mechanically superior, and are amenable to aqueous or organic solvent processing.
They can be chemically modified to suit a wide range of biomedical applications.
Silks have been investigated as biomaterials due to the successful use of silk fibers.
Difference in species gives different primary amino acid sequence.
Recently regenerated silk solutions have been used to form a variety of biomaterials, such as gels, sponges and films, for medical applications.
Degradability of silk biomaterials can be related to the mode of processing and the corresponding.

The rearing of silkworms for the production of raw silk is Sericulture.
Bombyx mori is the most widely used species of silkworm and intensively studied.

Silkworm cocoon is composed primarily of three proteins, which consist of the glue-like glycoprotein sericin and heavy and light chains of the structural fibrous protein fibroin.
It has been shown that fibroin may be resolubilized into an aqueous solution, and then formed into a number of different geometrical forms to produce ‘regenerated’ silk .
Derived silk is highly biocompatible within the body, and also demonstrates an impressive range of material properties based on a variety of processing protocols.
Regenerated silk fibroin solution is produced by dissolving silk cocoons into water through the use of chaotropic agents (heavy salts), to disrupt the high degree of hydrogen bonding that exists between the individual protein molecules.

The ability to control silk material properties offers a number of advantages over other biopolymer systems like collagen, chitosan, and alginate. The formation of silk structures begins with fibroin proteins aggregating into protein globules in solution.
The fibroin globules then aggregate to form larger bulk macromolecular structures that can then be modified through a variety of processing methods.
The silk material properties can then be controlled through inducing protein secondary structure formations, such as alpha-helices and beta-sheets, through a variety of post-processing techniques.
Liquid crystalline phases and conformational polymorphism have been implicated in the biological processing of these proteins to contribute to the architectural features within the fibers.

APPLİCATİONS…Skin / Wound Healing
Fibroin films and fibroin-alginate sponges have been found to enhance skin wound healing.
Keratinocytes also proliferate on woven fibroin meshes,used for wound healing applications.
A fibroin-chitosan blend has been reported togive superior performance when tested for repair of ventral hernias.

Vascular Tissue
B. mori silk (after sericin extraction) wound into strands wound into yarns, has been investigated for its potential for ligament tissue engineering .Matrices have suitable mechanical properties for reconstruction.Surface modification allows tailoring of the mechanical properties.
Silk fibroin nets have been reported tosupport endothelial cell attachment,
Recent evidence suggests that sulphonated silk fibroin films have suitable mechanical properties for use as artificial blood vessels.

APPLİCATİONS…
Silk fibers are composed primarily of 2 types of proteins:(1)Gum-like Sericin,(2)Fibroin, the core filaments of silk.
Fibroin comprised of highly organized b-sheet
The ease of reconstruction during preparation of theFibroin allows structural conformational changes in*protien structure *crystalinity *surface modificationallowing easy access to the mechanical propertiesas desired by the biomedical application.
CONCLUSİON
A FEW BRAIN TEASERS FOR YOU…..
Q1: The scientific name of the silkworm is
a. Morus albab. Bombyx moric. Caterpillard. None of these
Q2: What is my name?
