Abstract: Silk Fibroin-Based Biomaterials In article number 2414878, Feng Wang and co-workers present a novel biosynthetic system for developing functional silk fibroin-based biomaterials. The system can efficiently synthesize exogenous recombinant proteins with activity in silk glands of transgenic silkworms and secrete them into silk fibers, providing high-quality raw materials for the subsequent development of functional silk fibroin biomaterials and promoting the application of silk fibroin biomaterials in the field of medical tissue engineering.
