The Application of Silk Fibroin in Tissue Engineering and Drug Carrier Area

Abstract:

In a long period, silk fibroin is applied in the biomedical area. Following the development of biotechnical, its new functions are get found and developed. From the ordinary tissue engineering frame to high grade frame with drug buffer system, exploitations of silk fibroin are constantly introduced new. In our review, we summarized the applications of silk fibroin in tissue engineering and drug carrier area.
