Silk as a biomaterial
Charu Vepari,David L. Kaplan +1 more
TL;DR: Silks are fibrous proteins with remarkable mechanical properties produced in fiber form by silkworms and spiders that are biocompatible when studied in vitro and in vivo.

Natural–origin polymers as carriers and scaffolds for biomolecules and cell delivery in tissue engineering applications
TL;DR: A wide range of natural-origin polymers with special focus on proteins and polysaccharides that are being used in research, or might be potentially useful as carriers systems for active biomolecules or as cell carriers with application in the tissue engineering field targeting several biological tissues are overviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastomeric biomaterials for tissue engineering
TL;DR: This article provides a comprehensive review on the elastomeric biomaterials used in tissue engineering, with emphasis on the most important candidates to date.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Studies with well-defined silkworm silk fibers and films suggest that the core silk fibroin fibers exhibit comparable biocompatibility in vitro and in vivo with other commonly used biomaterials such as polylactic acid and collagen.

Osteoinduction, osteoconduction and osseointegration.
TL;DR: Osseointegration is the stable anchorage of an implant achieved by direct bone-to-implant contact in craniofacial implantology and this mode of anchorage is the only one for which high success rates have been reported.
