The latest discovery and innovation: Silk woven skin is expected to replace autologous skin graft.
Skin graft after skin deep burn patients can be described as "robbing Peter to pay Paul" Even so it is difficult to completely restore the original appearance of the skin and function. However, the reporter learned from the just-concluded China International Silk Conference, these traditional autografting may be lovely silk of silkworms secreted protein to replace, specifically, is the silk fibroin and sericin by scientists Cherish "conjure up" the skin, bones, blood vessels.
According to reports, the Institute of Materials Engineering of Suzhou University more than a decade in the silk proteins of biomedical research areas frequently breakthrough: to be included in the national "863" high-tech silk protein artificial skin was developed in the second half of last year, and in animal experiment to achieve the desired effect, will enter the clinical research stage. The artificial skin of silk protein using the principle of tissue engineering, high-tech natural silk fibroin from the development as the main raw material, has good biocompatibility, for the treatment of deep burn wounds, with our own intellectual property rights been a number of national invention patent protection.
At the same time continue to carry out medical research of the silk fibroin, the School of Biological Materials Task Force again aimed at the right like magic sericin. Sericin is composed of 18 amino acids of the natural water-soluble globulin. Sericin in silk production, is used as a waste discharge, this is not only a huge waste of resources, can also cause environmental pollution. The researchers found in the study The sericin biodegradable better than the silk fibroin, that is, When sericin become the carrier of cell proliferation and tissue regeneration and to complete the task, the more susceptible to human tissue absorption. The development of new materials can not only broaden the use of silk, and promote artificial tissues, artificial organs, sericin turning waste into treasure the coup.
Currently, the group has successfully prepared porous sericin materials, is embarking on the structure and performance.
