Optimizing protein delivery rate from silk fibroin hydrogel using silk fibroin-mimetic peptides conjugation

Abstract Controlled release of proteins, such as growth factors, from biocompatible silk fibroin (SF) hydrogel is valuable for its use in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and other biological systems. To achieve this, we introduced silk fibroin-mimetic peptides (SFMPs) with the repeating unit (GAG...
