  • SILK FIBROIN-DECORIN SCAFFOLDS
    Publication number: 20120251593
    Abstract: Disclosed are silk fibroin scaffolds that are fabricated with decorin proteoglycan, and methods of using these scaffolds in the repair of tissue defects in subjects. The scaffolds have biomechanical properties which makes them suitable for patient-specific design for defects where strong tensile strength is required, such as musculofascia reconstruction.
