Silk Sericin: A Promising Sustainable Biomaterial for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications

Silk Sericin: A Promising Sustainable Biomaterial for Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Applications

Silk is a natural composite fiber composed mainly of hydrophobic fibroin and hydrophilic sericin, produced by the silkworm <i>Bombyx mori.</i> In the textile industry, the cocoons of <i>B. mori</i> are processed into silk fabric, where the sericin is substantially removed and...
