  • RECOMBINANT SPIDER SILK EXTRUDATE FORMULATIONS
    Publication number: 20220273526
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are recombinant spider silk compositions formed from a silk-based extrudate, such as stable films that adsorb to the skin, and methods for making these compositions. In some embodiments, provided herein is a method of making a silk-based emulsion, comprising: mixing a composition comprising a recombinant spider silk polypeptide powder and glycerol by applying pressure and shear force to the composition, thereby transforming the composition to an extrudate; suspending at least a portion of said extrudate in an aqueous solvent to form an aqueous extrudate suspension; and mixing said aqueous extrudate suspension into an emulsion to form said silk-based emulsion.

  • Compounds and methods for the production of suckerin and uses thereof
    Patent number: 10899803
    Abstract: Sucker ring tooth (SRT) proteins called Suckerins were identified from the sucker tissue of three distantly related Decapodiformes species. These proteins assemble into silk-like beta-sheet reinforced materials. The use of suckerin proteins to produce fibres, films and tissue scaffolds is also described.
