Abstract

Silk, particularly from the Bombyx mori species, has been found to possess unique properties that make it exceptionally suitable for biomedical applications. Sericulture, traditionally known for silk production, has found significant applications in the biomedical field. This article explores the use of silk and its derivatives in various biomedical applications, including tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, wound healing, and medical sutures. The biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties of silk make it an ideal material for numerous medical applications. This article discusses the advancements in utilizing sericulture products in biomedical sciences, highlighting the potential and the challenges of these applications.
